I have a NSImageView and the user should be able to drag from it onto the Finder which will then create a file. While I found this in the archives
http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/43556-drag-and-drop-onto-the-desktop.html the docs and some other posts on the internetz suggest to use a "HFS Promise Drag" instead http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DragandDrop/Tasks/DraggingFiles.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001288-CEGJFDFG http://speirs.org/blog/2009/12/5/hfs-promise-drags-from-ikimagebrowserview.html So on a mouse down I am now calling [self dragPromisedFilesOfTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"pdf"] fromRect:imageLocation source:self slideBack:YES event:theEvent]; which initiates the drag session. When I drop it onto the Finder namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination: gets called. Now while I could create the file in namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination: I am not sure whether that is the correct place. The docs state "After a drag operation is dropped, the dragging destination receives a performDragOperation: message." but I don't see that method getting called at all. Where is the correct place to create the files for the drop destination? And will this also work when sandbox'ed? cheers, Torsten _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
