In another well known spreadsheet progragmme, dragging-and-dropping a .jpg file from the file explorer to the spreadsheet inserts a graphic into the spreadsheet at the currently selected cell. In Calc, dragging and dropping a .jpg makes LibreOffice open a draw document and inserts the picture in that. Images can be succesfully inserted in a sheet from the clipboard, or by using inssert-image-from_file, but not by dragging and dropping.
