NSPasteBoard setPropertyList:forType

Hi,

since I tried to store a pointer to an instance of one of my objects in a NSPasteboard I'm quite confused about that concept.
For a Drag 'n Drop Operation within my Application I use the NSPasteboard to store a path and a pointer to an object (which represents the data in that path)

Here is an Extract from my source

- (BOOL) outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView writeItems: (NSArray*)items toPasteboard:(NSPasteboard*)pboard {
[pboard declareTypes : [NSArray arrayWithObjects : NSFilenamesPboardType, @"foo", nil] owner : self];
[pboard setPropertyList:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[[items objectAtIndex:0] getLocalPath], nil] forType:NSFilenamesPboardType];
BOOL res = [pboard setPropertyList:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[items objectAtIndex:0], nil] forType:@"foo"];
[pboard types];
NSArray* ar = [pboard propertyListForType:@"foo"];
int i = [ar count];
NSLog(@"result: %i, array: %@, count: %i", res, ar, i);
return YES;
}


The use of the NSFilenamesPboard ist without any problems. If I store e.g. a NSString* in the fooBoard it is also no problem. But if I store that pointer in the fooBoard as done above I get a result YES but if I try reading it out the way I do it above I get a nil-Pointer from NSArray* ar = [pboard propertyListForType:@"foo"];

What am I doning wrong? How do I get that pointer to my outlineView:acceptDrop:item:childIndex function?

Thanks for any advice,

Stefan Heukamp
