If you drag a file onto Tiled it will generally try to open it as a map or tileset file. It currently does not recognize image files. I agree it would be helpful to add this and to open the “New Tileset” dialog for this case.

Tiled does allow dragging image files into the _Tilesets_ view, in which case the “New Tileset” dialog is opened with that image file selected.
