current workaround: you can hold Ctrl and select many files and then drag them into a virtual folder or target.

If there are several 100 dependencies and you want to add just one special file, it's very bad to drag this file to project

I was just about to make the same proposal. 

If you ever tried to add one or more dependencies from vi.lib, you know why. Sometimes the files are located hundrets of entries below the project folder and the scrollbar seems to be never ending. Especially if you have installed several tool packages

Why is this Idea declined - it's not solved yet or? in newer LV Versions the drag and drop also more painfull
