Is there sample code anywhere where NSFilePromisePboardType is used?
I believe there was for Session 411 at WWDC 2004...
In brief:
In your view class you implement -mouseDragged: and
-namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination:.
For example, to support dragging a PDF file from a view:
- (void)mouseDragged:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
//...
[self dragPromisedFilesOfTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"pdf"]
fromRect:imageLocation
source:self
slideBack:YES
event:dragEvent];
// dragEvent is the event that initiated the drag
// e.g. a copy of the event in -mouseDown:
//...
}
// Create the data representation of the view
NSData *data = [self dataWithPDFInsideRect:[self bounds]];
// Write the data to a file located in the given drop destination.
NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:filename
relativeToURL:dropDestination];
[data writeToURL:fileURL atomically:YES];
[fileURL release];
// Return an array of file names for the created files
return [NSArray arrayWithObject: filename];
}
As a user-friendly feature, -filenameForPath: takes the drop
destination path, determines the required filename, looks to see if a
file of that name already exists at the drop destination; if it does,
adds a suffix (e.g. "filename-1"), repeats if necessary ("filename-2",
"filename-3"...); then returns a string representing filename.
