Thanks for that, Thomas. The Problem I'm having is that the IKImageBrowserView is just representing previews. So it's a file preview and there's a path behind the preview to be copied when dragging out. With the standard settings of the view, I'll get the preview image copied to the location instead of the file behind the image. That's why I have to implement everything on my own, I know this sounds confusing. ;-)

I dunno know what to declare in the pasteboard when it is about NSIndexSets. And what to do next after implementing writeItemsAtIndexes:toPasteboard:…?
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hi Jordan,

imageBrowser:writeItemsAtIndexes:toPasteboard: is indeed the way to go.

Implement this method in your datasource and just fill the pasteboard with the info you want (Images, paths, urls, data...) for the indexes passed in arguments. Also if you feed the imageBrowser with paths or urls (IKImageBrowserPathRepresentationType, IKImageBrowserNSURLRepresentationType...) , you don't have to do anything, the pasteboard is filled automatically (i.e you don't need to implement imageBrowser:writeItemsAtIndexes:toPasteboard:).

Hi all,

I've been wondering on how to implement dragging out of the view in the IKImageBrowserView. I am pretty sure this is where I have to start: -imageBrowser:writeItemsAtIndexes:toPasteboard: but I don't have a clue what to do next. It's not a real File Promise, I just need the folder (in most cases the Desktop) dragged to and the indexes that have been dragged. The class seems to be quite different to the NSTableView in which I am using '-tableView:writeRowsWithIndexes:toPasteboard' and '- tableView:namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination:forDraggedRowsWithIndexes :'.

What's the method I am missing?

Best regards & thanks.
Tobias Jordan.
