If you are able to drag to a folder at all, you must be providing a file or a promise pasteboard item. In that case, you should be able to tell if the destination folder is a Trash folder (either NSWorkspace or some Carbon API). Then you can perform the delete. i am not providing either a file or a promise (at least not that i know of). in my table's data source implementation of -tableView:writeRowsWithIndexes:toPasteboard: i supply one (or more) private pboard types and i also provide NSRTFPboardType and NSStringPboardType data that enables dragging (rich) text to text files and which create text clipping files when dropped in a folder or on the desktop. for testing purposes, i implemented -tableView:setObjectValue:forTableColumn:row: and -pasteboard:provideDataForType: in my datasource, but neither is called. ken ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

dragging to trash folder problems
i've implemented -draggedImage:endedAt:operation: and i check if the operation is an NSDragOperationDelete to detect drags to the trash, and if so, i then appropriately delete the dragged object from my app's document. this all works fine as long as the user drags the object to the trash icon in the dock. however, if the user drags an object to the trash icon, and then subsequently drags to and drops on the (popped) opened trash folder, i no longer receive the NSDragOperationDelete operation in -draggedImage:endedAt:operation: and hence cannot detect that this should actually be a delete and the opened trash folder remains open on the desktop. not only that, but if the user drops in the (pop) opened trash folder, since i don't perform the delete, the user can again drag the same object to the trash icon in the dock and this opens a second trash folder. this can be repeated many times, resulting in many opened trash folders on the desktop. my questions: 1) how can i detect that the user dropped into a (popped) opened trash folder? 2) is the behavior of (popping) open multiple instances of the trash folder a (known) bug? this is on leopard 10.5.8. ken ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Safari 4.0.4 is able to handle dragging bookmarks bar items to the Trash icon in the dock as well as to a springloaded Trash folder window. 2) is the behavior of (popping) open multiple instances of the trash folder a (known) bug? I don't think this is a bug, for the same reason that I can pop open multiple instances of any other folder. This might not be expected behavior for someone used to the pre-OS X Finder, but it seems pretty consistent with the non-spatial OS X Finder. --Kyle Sluder ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
