I used to do that, sending promiseHFSFlavor directly to the Finder from
my Cocoa app. It was so buggy and unstable, though, that I eventually
took it out.

Can i just say that i provide the promiseHFSFlavor type when i start
the drag operation and then will things work? Where would i go to find
out how to do this? Are there any examples of declaring Carbon drag
types on a Cocoa pastboard and what would i have to do to my NSData to
make it compatible with the promiseHFSFlavor type?
Oh one last thing... I think with Omniweb you can drag URL's to the
finder. Anyone know how they doing that?
Thanks,

Your code is correct. The problem is that Apple does not yet
support the translation of NSFileContentsPboardType to the
Carbon equivalent promiseHFSFlavor in inter-Carbon-Cocoa drag
and drop. So as of now, it's impossible to create new files in
the Finder from Cocoa drags.
P.S. They might be more inclined to fix this if it should
happen to show up in a lot of bug reports somehow.
