@property (nullable, copy) NSArray<NSDraggingImageComponent *> * __nonnull (^imageComponentsProvider)(void); It's been years ago now, but Raleigh Ledet did a WWDC presentation on Drag Flocking. See https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2011/115/ It's one of the most intensely valuable videos for understanding scrolling, swiping and dragging in macOS. Still very very very valuable video. It's a dense presentation, but if you *can* do this, this is where you will find out how. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
