Pasteboard file promises under 10.6
Does anybody know how to get file promises working with the new pasteboard API in Snow Leopard? When the dragging session in started, I put the following item onto the provided pasteboard: NSPasteboardItem* item = [[NSPasteboardItem alloc] init]; [item setDataProvider:self forTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString*)kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise]]; [item setString:@net.mycompany.mydocument forType:kPasteboardTypeFilePromiseContent]; [pboard writeObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObject:item]]; But when I drag my objects, the delegate method pasteboard:item:provideDataForType: is never called. If I use public.data instead of my custom UTI, I get the following output in the console: Looked for HFSPromises on the pasteboard, but found none Sadly, the system documentation does not provide any more clues.

Every version of Mac OS X to date treats file promise pasteboards as being different from all other kinds of pasteboards, and the only supported way of starting a file promise drag operation is by using the -dragPromisedFilesOfTypes:... method of NSView. Also, some built-in views support file promise dragging through their delegate or data source methods, which ultimately use -dragPromisedFilesOfTypes:... to do the drag.
