I saw that you already got something working. But it's actually the 
wrong direction you are going in.

Don't touch the drop code on QTreeWidget. Instead, handle this in the 
model. You should read the entire section on using drag and drop with 
the model/view classes.

The method you need here is QAbstractItemModel::dropMimeData(...). 
Override that instead of the view.
