I having trouble getting my map jpeg files to drop into the map/images tab. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears/eyes. Thank you in advance for any help is given.

You can't drop images directly into the map dialog box if that is what you are trying to do. Click on ye folder button in that dialog and put your images into the folder that opens.

I do not see a folder when I open the map/image tab. Is the folder in the FG files on my hard drive?

You usually can, FG is designed to let you drag/drop image files from file explorer directly to the image list box. See the 5th paragraph here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Images#Image_and_Map_List

However, depending on the OS setup, this might be blocked - usually by a security application.

Possibly this has been removed in 3.2.0 - I had thought the same and went to do it but it didnt accept in 3.2.0 and I didnt have time to downgrade and retest.

Works fine in 3.1.7 for me.

Interesting. I've never been able to drag anything directly into the images window. And it's certainly not working now in 3.2; but as I say, for me anyway, it's never worked.
