I can't figure out how to get the path where the user dropped.
To my knowledge that's impossible (on every OS). As I understand the
drag/drop paradigm, you can't see where something is dropped to if the
target is another application.
But as Jan suggested, how do most FTP clients work? In Interarchy I can
drop to any folder and it works great. I'd like to be able to do
something similar - there must be a way.
You may want to consider trying a different paradigm if you need to do some
processing after the drag operation completes. For example, you could
either:
* Drag a folder from the finder into your app and use that as the
destination or
* Select the files and use "ask file" to save the "operation" to a target
location.
Just some thoughts.
I may have to resort to something like that in the short term. What a
drag (pun intended).
