Perhaps Tinderbox does not recognize all the URL types that are needed. Unfortunately pasteboard support for URLs on Cocoa is a real mess, there are really a lot of different types, and it is not clear what the preferred way is to put URLs on the clipboard. Especially when you want to support 10.5. That said, any app *should* recognize the types that we put on the clipboard. As for the beep, I have no idea why it would do that. As long as the menu item is active this particular action never beeps! Did you select an item?
