I tend to drag more than one image from Windows Explorer to Krita with no problem… as long as those images are in a format that the program accepts (like _jpg_ and _png_, for example). If your texture file is in these formats it will **also** accept it.

But if the texture file is in _ **pat** _ format, you will need to install it in Krita to use it. **[See this post for more details.](https://krita-artists.org/t/screentone-test/46916/5)**
