I'm now using UTTypeCreatePreferredIdentifierForTag() when sending both
kDragFlavorTypePromiseHFS (UTI = "dyn.agk81a4dgsq") an kDragPromisedFlavor
(UTI = "dyn.agk80q65xna").
However, PasteboardCopyPasteLocation() still returns me badPasteboardFlavorErr!
Is there some prerequisite before calling this one?
Remark I'm still passing kDragPromisedFlavor in PromiseHFSFlavor.promisedFlavor
in my first PasteboardPutItemFlavor() (for the kDragFlavorTypePromiseHFS),
as I do not see how I could pass an UTI there. Does a structure similar to
PromiseHFSFlavor exists, which is UTI compatible? (and perheaps a corresponding
kDragFlavorType?).

Thank you for confirming this!
