Re: mouse pointer for drag copy

Dragging promised files from tables and outineviews is hell. I'm currently working on this for one of my apps, but the way I "solved" it in another app (because I had the files at hand) was to actually create the files to drag in a temporary folder. This way, no more "promises" and my problems magically disappeared.

But for cases when files are really not there by the time you start a drag, it's not funny. Cocoa is definitely underperforming in this area, especially when compared to the outstanding drag and drop features found in Carbon. One can only hope that this will improve in the future ;-)

That sounds like the exact problem I was having at one point; nothing would happen with the drag until I clicked somewhere in my main window, and then the copy would occur.

Incidentally, I take back what I said earlier; sending an array of multiple types to the Finder caused my app to segfault on quit, and I don't remember what fixed that stalling problem :/. All in all, getting this to work really sucked.
