Beaker: File manager doesn't import everything on drag and drop.

Describe the bug

I have a Hugo site (source available here) that I'd like to mirror as a drive in Beaker. Beaker seems to have issues importing it on Windows.

To Reproduce

  1. Clone the git repo.
  2. Install Hugo. I'm using v0.65.3, which is just the latest version from the scoop package manager.
  3. In the root of the cloned repo, run hugo to build the site.
  4. Open the generated public directory in Explorer.
  5. Create a new drive in Beaker. I did not select the "From directory" option.
  6. Click "Explore Files"
  7. Click back to the public directory in Explorer. Press ctrl+a to select every file in the directory. Drag and drop the files onto the Beaker files pane.
  8. Refresh the page in beaker to see the imported site.
  9. The first time I tried this, only some of the files were imported. Several posts and my CSS didn't make it into the new drive.
  10. On my second attempt, I did the exact same thing on a fresh drive to reproduce for this bug report. This time, _none_ of the files were imported and I got a mysterious error.

Expected behavior
All the files are imported and display in Beaker.

Additional comments
Is there a command line tool or something I could try for this use case? It'd be awfully convenient if I didn't have to drag and drop to update my site every time I make a new post.

I've updated the drag & drop files-import to be much more robust. Please re-open if this continues to be an issue. (Will be included in prerelease.4)

Also FYI we're going to add folder watching like you requested: https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/issues/1600

Thank you for filing with so much detail, I'll try to repro.
