When an event is created from a selection of files there is no way (is there?) to add a file
later on. One can delete a file but not add one.

The method to add a fie would be tricky. If we right click and use an Add to Event method
it would then require to select the event wanted.

If we use an option from within an event then how do we select the file we want to add?
Maybe something like Add bookmarked files to event would be simplest.

Background (how I arrived at this need):
I have been using events created from selected files in place of result windows. This allows me to
"save a result window" for later use. It is also convenient when working on  a set of files and removing
each file from the event (Key U) as I no longer need it.
Being able to add files would enhance the utility of events for me.

PS: an alternative/work around would be to allow adding/removing files to result sets

You can use copy&paste to add files to an event. Works the same as with folders, categories etc.

Indeed: Copy Paste works, as well as Drag and Drop. This will do.
