Re: D&D warning alert w/Finder folder drop



Does anyone have any wisdom on this subject matter?

Begin forwarded message:

Hi:

I get the following alert when dropping a folder of files unto an NSTextView from the Finder:

"Warning: Do you really want to copy the contents of the dragged items into the text?"

The Alert has Copy, Cancel and Alias response buttons.

1) If I wanted, in the application, to always Copy & NEVER Alias the dropped files, is it possible to change the Alert to not have the Alias choice? (Frankly, this must be confusing to most Apple users and I wonder how this ever got past the usability guys at Apple).

2) Is it appropriate to always just allow the drop (like simple file drops are accepted w/o question)?

3) If it is OK to just always allow the drop, how does one disable this Alert completely?

Thanks.

Chris
