1. If you're running on 10.6, you should use the new pasteboard API. NSURL conforms to NSPasteboardWriting, and all you have to do is write your NSURL to the pasteboard using -[NSPasteboard writeObjects:]. It will use all the correct representations. 2. You're seriously simulating keystrokes to paste things in places? This is fraught with peril. I know a number of users who re-map Cmd-V to "Paste and Match Style" using System Preferences. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
