Hi,
Thanks for your reply, Clipboard viewer did the trick,
Its the NSRTFDPboard type that contains the required data.

// Get the rtfd data, get the attachment and then get the attachment name from it NSData *nameData = [[sender draggingPasteboard] dataForType:NSRTFDPboardType]; NSAttributedString *string = [[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithRTFD:nameData documentAttributes:nil]autorelease]; NSTextAttachment *attachment = [string attribute:NSAttachmentAttributeName atIndex:0 effectiveRange:NULL]; NSString *name = [[attachment fileWrapper] filename];

Launch the Clipboard Viewer, which is in:
   /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Built\ Examples/
and drop your images onto it, and then select the Drag Clipboard, possibly clicking Reload to inspect the values you can get.
Hi, In my application, i allow users to drag and drop images from Safari, however while receiving the drop i cannot retrieve the image name from the pasteboard. If i get the data for URL pasteboard type, it gives the URL up to the image, and not containing the image, what i mean is,
if the image is located at suppose http://www.somesite/something/image.tiff
, the URL pasteboard gives http://www.somesite/something/
But  i need the "image.tiff"
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
