Accepting files dragged from iTunes in a Cocoa app

Accepting files dragged from iTunes in a Cocoa app


  • Subject: Accepting files dragged from iTunes in a Cocoa app

When dragging files from iTunes, iTunes sends the following drag flavors
(according to DragPeeker X):

  phfs (kDragFlavorTypePromiseHFS)
  rWm1 (kDragPromisedFlavorFindFile)
  Hpfl
  itun

I can't find any reference to the last two on the web, so I assume they
are private flavors.

In a Carbon application I solved the problem by handling the
kDragPromisedFlavorFindFile flavor, which worked quite well.  How do I
do this in a Cocoa app though?  I can't find any NS*PboardType that
seems to relate to it.

Accepting the file promise is not what I want; I don't want to create a
new file, but reference the existing file in the iTunes library.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
   Stefan
