I'm trying to get drag-and-drop to work, using the finder as a destination. I can drag my files into mail using NSTIFFPboardType. My draggingSourceOperationMaskForLocal returns NSDragOperationEvery. But, when I drag my file onto a finder window, I get no icon at all... no little green plus indicating a copy. My pasteboard: provideDataForType: is never called by the finder. How the heck to I get the finder to accept a drop??
Assuming you are trying to create a picture file here, you have to use the pasteboard type "CorePasteboardFlavorType 0x6675726C" to get the Finder to accept the drag, and it must contain a file URL string pointing to the source image that you must write to the disk somewhere. Or you could do a file promise drag instead; that's a lot easier now than it used to be a while ago.
