I'm using promise drags to copy files from a table view to the Finder,

working fine, but I don't see the mouse pointer change to the green
circle with a plus sign that typically indicates a drag copy in the
Finder and elsewhere. [...]
I think that Finder always report NSDragOperationGeneric and thus will
never show the plus sign for other than local drags.
I had an enhancement report on this, but it's gone from the Radar, but
in short it means that there is no way for users to change a default
copy operation to a move operation, if the drag in question must also
have the Finder as potential destination (because there is no qualifier
to mask for move, and generic cannot be used instead due to Finder).
While searching Radar for the bug though, I did see 3 other requested
enhancements regarding drag'n'drop: 1) use the "not allowed" cursor for
NSDragOperationNone, 2) implement the slideDraggedImageTo:, and 3) keep
the ordering of items dragged from the Finder (per the AHIG) -- and
based on the pending state of these, I guess enhancing drag'n'drop on
the platform know as being best operated with a mouse has low priority
;)
But please please please file another bug for this legacy Finder
behavior! :)
