I want to drag files from a list box to a folder in the Finder or Windows desktop, but the files themselves aren't available at the time of the drag - only their names. I want the drop to tell me where the files should go, but then my app will write the files to the destination. Can I drop placeholder items and determine the directory where the drop landed so I can then write the real items in that place? This sounds like the Promised Files mechanism described in the documentation, but that applies only to OS X ,and perhaps only to dragging into my app, not out to the desktop. I need to make this work in both Windows and OS X. Any advice appreciated!
