Do you properly implement -namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination: (which is required)? Are you providing an array of valid string paths? The drag destination would convert the string paths to URLs, so this suggests that you are passing it invalid data. Have you recently re-read "Drag and Drop Programming Topics for Cocoa" (particularly the dragging files section)? That should give you some clues. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
