Hi Hina!

I did some work to override the Slicer drag and drop behavior to do something different that I posted about at

> [@Add Drag and drop import to slicelet?](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/add-drag-and-drop-import-to-slicelet/9382/4):

> I came across this thread as I was experimenting adding a custom drop action for a custom app using only python. With the code below I was able to redefine the drop action to execute what I put in dropEvent when I dropped a file path instead of the Slicer default of opening the Add Data Dialog. class MyClass(qt.QWidget): def eventFilter(self, object, event): """ Custom event filter for Slicer Main Window. Inputs: Object (QObject), Event (QEvent) """ …

You should be able to use this method for overriding the QMainWindow `closeEvent` to do your own set of actions instead of the Slicer unsaved changes warning.

Here is some [example code](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/39fe1598d1fa2e5dcf51a712cdcdcfe7c0ce446e/Modules/Scripted/DICOM/DICOM.py#L479-L525) that @lassoan then used in the DICOM module to override the regular Slicer drag and drop event behavior.
