[QUOTE=prof.ebral;135171Because of this framework it sounds impossible to actually drag and drop an item onto a Scene or a View, I would need to have an Item to accept that dropEvent. Is that correct? Is there any way to work around this so I can drop directly onto the Scene or the View?[/QUOTE]

You can always call the base class implementation of the event to "forward" the drop from the view to the scene and then to the item.
