Well, I sent one a while ago, and got a personal reply which contained
some advice, and which mentioned some things that I had discussed
earlier on this mailing list. So, people are definitely reading these.
Send them in!

I spent far too long on this exact issue about 6 months ago before
giving up. Since this is really a bug, perhaps it should be reported
through bugreporter.apple.com. It would be really nice to get this
fixed.
It's unclear to me whether on the internal side there is a way to
keep track of the number of duplicates in bugreporter. All of the
bugs I've filed to date end up being duplicates, so I just feel like
there's little point unless someone is tracking the number of
duplicates internally like votes.

So far as I know, there's no way to do this. Send feedback to the
Cocoa feedback team. I sent some feedback a while ago, and I got
some replies from someone at Apple who seemed interested. If
enough people send feedback, they might realize that this is
something that people need and add support for this in 10.2.

Well, I still haven't found a way to do drag and drop to the
Finder for files correctly...
It seems the files have to exist and I have to specify them
immediately. This is not correct behaviour, IMO, as Finder should
ask me to provide the actual files when it wants them - it does
so for strings.
When I declare the types, I specify a private type, file names and
a string. I only actually provide the private type (internal app
drag and drop) and the string.
Problem is, Finder never asks me for the files and accepts the
string as a text clipping. If I provide the files up-front, it
takes them. I don't want to have to create temporary files just
for a pasteboard which might not end up in the Finder. Besides,
when can I delete the files if they're not wanted!
Has anyone figured a way around this issue yet? I tried a search
of CocoaDev but came up empty handed.
I bet it worked okay in Workspace.app.
