Re: [platform-swt-dev] Mac OS 10.4 Finder drag and drop development

Thanks for investigating Eric. Please add your findings to the bug and I
will have a look at it. Interacting with the Finder seems to be a bit of
black magic - as noted in the Apple Documentation TN1085: "Dragging
flavorTypeHFS data from your application to Finder has always supposed to
have been possible. However, Finder bugs have prevented most applications
from successfully using this feature." I will look again at the
AppleEvent issue described in this tech note. Maybe there is new
documentation with Tiger that will help.
I will see what I can do for you. First things first, I will get my hands
on Tiger - still living in the Panther world myself.
You are correct...HFS seems very buggy, I would assume that is why tiger
has dropped this type from finder transfers. I have posted the patches
to the bug report and hopefully explained them enough through the
comments and my additions to the bug report.
I think the biggest issue with DND from SWT has been the misuse of the
itemRef number in AddDragItemFlavor. I am sure this has caused untold
numbers of problems for people.
This article is also very important for the support of DND on the mac
platform:

Hope that helps,
Eric
