I would like to drag an object from my app to the Finder and create my

I can quite succeed when I declared the type NSTIFFPboardType in the
pasterboard, but when I declare my own type it doesn't work. I cannot
get
any file in the Finder. How to do that?
myTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:MyPboardType, nil];
[pboard declareTypes:myTypes owner:self];
[pboard setData:someData forType:MyPboardType];

I'm no expert on Finder behavior, but I'm guessing that the Finder
isn't set up to arbitrarily create files from unknown pasteboard
content types. If you create a TIFF pasteboard, that's something the
Finder recognizes and it happily complies.
