I am writing an AppleScript Studio application that is a front-end
for the ditto command. I would like the main application window to
have two drag and drop targets where the user can drop a source
folder and a destination folder. Each target would then display the
name and icon of the chosen file. What UI element would be
appropriate to use here?


NSTextField and NSImageView for displaying paths and icons respectively (the former can accept keyboard input and both can accept file drag-n-drop). e.g. See FileMerge's 'Compare Files' window for an example:

	/Developer/Applications/Utilities/FileMerge.app

BTW, Studio questions are best directed to the AppleScript-Studio list:
