Supposing I do this, how would I open the text extracts?
I've not checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is proprietary (and
would require Carbon calls to retrieve the styled data of the text
extract,
which may also include quickdraw pictures ('pict') and so on)
It is a private format. If you want to read it you'll have to
reverse engineer the format (and yes, my gosh, use Carbon calls to
extract the data from the resource fork.)
Also, unless this has changed recently, this is working for free
in Carbon.
Since Apple's goal is to be sure there isn't any way to recognize
a Carbon
app from a Cocoa one, I guess it should be up to them to this fix...
It isn't working for free in Carbon applications either at this
time. The Finder used to also put the url in the drag as text. It
doesn't do that on X. I filed a bug to requesting that it put text
in the drag again. It was closed as a duplicate. Hopefully in the
future it will start doing so again.
