I've tried, and it seems that there's no way to do it. There is NSFileContents, but that doesn't seem to work when dragging to Carbon apps, of which the Finder is one. For drag and drop you simply need to already have the file at the time of the drag. Apple really needs to fix this.

In 10.0.4, I came up with an unsupported hack in my program that let me send flavorTypePromiseHFS to the Finder from my app, but it broke in 10.1.

Hi,

Anyone knows how to get the drop location of drags to the Finder? Something like promiseHFS in Carbon?

What I would like to achieve is exactly that. I would like to promise a file to the Finder but I don't have the file yet... so I need the drop location so I can create the file in the right place later (when the job that creates the file finishes).

Any ideas? Any experience on mixing drag manager calls with Cocoa-dragging?
