Marc you are right, it is good question, how this feature will be informed to users. On the import page we can show a drop location where user drops the sql file and its uploaded asynchronously.

I still feel, its an event that currently not bound to anything. In the import page we can inform the user "You can import a file, anytime by dropping the file to pma" and gradually users will get used to it. I did a portion of implementation last night and it looks like:

I'd like to know more opinions on how this should be implemented!

Hi Minhaz,
how do you plan to advertise this new feature, if it's available on any
page? On the import page, it's easier to "educate" users about this.
