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?
