Why does dragging do executables to DOSBox.exe ignore dosbox.conf ? Is this intentional? Is there any way to change DOSBox's configuration when using drag and drop that doesn't involve creating a shortcut and adding "-conf dosbox.conf" (or -c) to it?

What's wrong with using a shortcut? It works quite well, using the designated conf file.

Well. It's more complicated.

Just giving anyone who has problems using DOSBox a dosbox.conf then telling them to drag the game they want to run to DOSBox.exe is more simple than telling them to do that, and how to create a shortcut that loads the conf in addition.

I just find it to be odd default behavior, anyway.
