24.0.90; image files display image data only after drag and drop
This does not allow me to view the image.  The preferred behavior would be
for the image itself to display like in older versions.

The big problem is that dragging a file to Emacs on NS inserts the contents of that file to the current buffer instead of opening it as people normally expect, and indeed is what all other Emacs versions does.  It is like that in Emacs 23 also, so this is not a regression. But as we are in a feature freeze this will have to wait, even if the behaviour is stupid.  If Emacs would open dragged files in a new buffer, images would be shown as images.

Is it just a question of doing what it says in the manual, or is more
needed?

    The default behavior when a user drags files from another application
    into an Emacs frame is to insert the contents of all the dragged files
    into the current buffer.  To remap the `ns-drag-file' event to open the
    dragged files in the current frame use the following line:
 
         (define-key global-map [ns-drag-file] 'ns-find-file)

Maybe that change is sensible and safe enough for 24.1.
(I can't even test it so I wouldn't know.)

No, that and changing the manual. 
The bindning to change is in ns-win.el

If you want I can do it. I have been  running with that change in my local copy for about a year now.

It's not my call, but to me it sounds appropriate to change this for
24.1

Yes, please go ahead.  I think it's a misfeature that the NS port does
d&d differently from the other platforms.

Done.  Documentation updated.  NEWS not updated though, should it be?
