Re: Finder Drops in Classic



Possibly the users having trouble have another copy of your app on their system somewhere, or another application using the same creator code as yours. Just a guess.

Does your app save documents stamped with your creator code? If so, have them first Quit from your app, then double-click one of your documents and see which app launches. (Check with About This Computer, click on the newly-launched app, and File > Show Original to find where it is on the hard drive, in case it has the expected name but is another copy.)

Cheers,

I'm getting reports that one of my apps will not accept file drops under OS 9. It will accept them in Classic and OS X. It is a bundled Carbon app made with Codewarrior . Of course every machine I try it on works perfectly but many people have reported that when they try to drop files on the application icon the app does not open the files or launch.

I asked some users to rebuild their desk tops but that did not help them. Can anyone think of a reason why it will work for some but not other machines ? I and my testers both used freshly installed OS 9.2.1 on iMac G3's.


Thanks, Matt
