See https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2011/115/ It's one of the most intensely valuable videos for understanding scrolling, swiping and dragging in macOS. Still very very very valuable video. It's a dense presentation, but if you *can* do this, this is where you will find out how. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

According to documentation, it's up to the drop location to decide how many items it will accept and change the numberOfValidItemsForDrop property on the NSDraggingInfo, like if one item is a jpg file and the other is a text file, but it only wants images, so it sets it to 1, but then if the mouse moves over some other app or destination that wants all files, it would change back to 2. -- Steve Mills Drummer, Mac geek ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

The thing is, in that dragging session I have to supply a list of URLs, so that other applications expecting URLs (like Finder, for example) would accept them. As a matter of fact, speaking about specifics, what I really want is to do is drag a couple of URLs into System Preferences’ “Full Disk Access” list, and that one accepts only lists of URLs, as far as I know. Now, I want it to look like a user is only dragging an icon of my application (which he/she really does), but application’s privileged helper needs to be added into “Full Disk Access” too. I don’t want user to see that (and potentially get confused), so my intention is to show just application’s icon during the drag. That works okay (the second dragging items has no content), but since I actually have two dragging items, the count badge appears, and that doesn’t look very nice. Speaking of above mentioned deprecated method, I tried to use it and write URLs to the dragging pasteboard using -[NSPasteboard writeObjects:]. That worked well and looked exactly as I wanted on Mojave, but on Catalina it throws exception for “there are two dragging items but only one dragging image, there should be one image per item”. Finally, I know of application which does exactly the same as I described and want. The session contained three dragging items, but the badge was hidden. So I thought there could be something obvious I may be missing. Now it seems to me that only can be done through private API calls and/ore other hackery.

Re: Hide badge of NSDraggingSession
I would not recommend using those deprecated API. They are not long for this world. With that said, I don’t have a better solution. —Rob > On Jul 25, 2019, at 7:03 PM, Dragan Milić via Cocoa-dev > wrote: > >> On pet 26.10.2019,. at 02.37, Steve Mills via Cocoa-dev wrote: >> >> Use the single image methods instead of adding multiple items. > > Do you think of deprecated (as of Lion) one: > > -[NSView dragImage:at:offset:event:pasteboard:source:slideBack:] ?? > > -- Dragan > ___ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/petrock%40mac.com > > This email sent to petr...@mac.com ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Hide badge of NSDraggingSession
Hi everyone, Here's a very straightforward question: starting a dragging session with -[NSDraggingSession beginDraggingSessionWithItems:event:source:] and having multiple dragging items automatically adds a badge, showing items count, to the composited dragging image. Is there any public way to hide/not show that badge? For certain reasons, even though a user can drag multiple items of certain type in my application, I want just a simple image without a badge displayed. I may be missing something obvious in the documentation and if so, please provide a reference where I can find it.
