I would like to know not only the answer to this question but also how apps in the X Finder determine while file types to accept when files are dragged onto an app's icon. I have a PowerPlant app that works fine under 9.x using the standard 'BNDL' resources of 'APPL', 'fold', and '****' (for all files). But this mechanism does not seem to work at all in the X Finder.

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?
