Hi,
I am having difficulty differentiating between the three cases of a) a
single file dropped on my app icon, b) multiple files dropped on my app icon
and c) a series of files dropped individually on my app icon over time. It's
the difference between (b) and (c) I'm interested in (take an app like
DropStuff for example which will archive individual files separately, but
put a batch of files in the same archive).
Each file dropped triggers application:openFile: in my NSApplication
delegate in series, but I can't tell whether the user dropped them together
or not. I think the best way is to use a timer to build a batch with an
arbitrary timeout within which any further incoming files are treated as
part of the same drop. I've got the feeling I might be missing something
though - I was hoping there was an array or count value somewhere I could
pick up...
Alex
