I'm not certain. You can try putting an NSPasteboardItem to which you haven't added any data in the list of items. You can try adding some other type of data, perhaps a custom type which indicates to your app that there's no data. You can put a different kind of NSURL, rather than a file URL, perhaps with a custom scheme meaningful only to your app. Etc. The main thing is to think of the pasteboard contents as multiple items, each with its own types/representations, which can be (but doesn't have to be) different from all of the other items.
