I completely understand. Thanks for helping me think this through. I appreciate your support. BTW, is this site the official Apple fed list?

Yes. Though all of the people reading the list, including the moderators, are volunteers. Apple doesn't provide official support via this list (that's what DTS is for).


Anyway, TextEdit 1.4(220) out of the box with OS 10.4.10 (8R218) PPC does exhibit this behaviour on a drop from finder on my machine. The TextEdit sample, built as either Development or Deployment builds, exhibiting same versioning as released version, do the same thing. Puzzling. Are you on Intel?

Ah, sorry, my fault. I didn't read carefully enough. You dropped a folder, rather than just a single file. Mine works the same way, in that case.


It does seem sensible to ask the question if someone drops a folder, rather than a file; after all, there is a reasonable chance that they really do want an alias (e.g. so that a document explaining how to do something can have a clickable link to the Applications folder) and folders could be rather large.

If you still want to disable it, you may be able to override some of the methods from the NSDraggingDestination protocol to prevent its display.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
