CamelBones...
Hi, I am writing an application in Perl and compiling it in CamelBones. I want to make it a DragDrop. I can't get the pasteboard to pass the file or folder information to the script. Does anyone have an example I could use as a template? Am I correct in thinking that the link is in the pList? I can't find this in any documentation. Thanks... Dan --
Re: CamelBones...
Simplest thing would be to start with the Document based Perl app template. There are several ways you can get at the file's contents - as an NSURL, an NSString local file path, an NSFileWrapper, or an NSData object. All you do is get info on the target in Xcode, set up the extension (.whatever) and set the document's UTI. The UTI is a backwards-domain string similar to Java's package naming scheme. So you'd probably use com.nytimes.dneville.ProjectName or something similar. Once you've assigned the file type info, you'll have support for the standard File menu, recent documents, and drag-n-drop support for document files - it's all standard stuff, already built into Cocoa's NSDocument architecture. If you'd prefer not to use document-based apps, you can register as the shared NSApplication's delegate, and handle the dropped files by responding to the -application:openFile: and/or -application:openFiles: delegate messages. You can also configure your app to read and/or edit standard types like txt or jpg, by using specific Apple UTIs, instead of UTIs based on your own domain.

If all of Sherm's X-code stuff confuses your brain there is an AppleScript solution that doesn't make you learn the details of AppleScript. There is an example, with source, in: ftp://ftp.macnauchtan.com/Software/LineEnds/FixEndsFolder.sit It's actually some C drivel that changes line ends in text files but it could just as well have been a perl executable with a #! line at the top. It might now work properly for an application that is running when the drag occurs. -- -- From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. --
