Re: Finder Drops in Classic



For completeness, I will point out that you can discover if the creator code you want to use is already registered by someone else, and also allow you to register your unique code, using forms accessible from this page:

http://developer.apple.com/datatype

Note: it is my understanding that all lowercase codes are reserved for use by Apple.

If another developer is using a creator code that is registered to you, then you have added weight to your argument when you complain to them.

However this registration has no legal standing akin to internet domain name registrations, so if they won't change their use of a code registered to you, you may have to change yours.

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.


Creator conflict most likely. Do your app has wrong icon on those affected systems as well? Make a custom build that has another creator (everywhere: executable creator, pkgInfo and plist) and test it on those systems.
