Hmm... I'm returning the NSDragOperationNone now, all I get is an image of what is being dragged no other symbol and the outlineview won't accept the drop which is correct. When I have a valid selection, I get the other symbol for copy(green circle with plus sign), or for Move, the outlineview highlights the drop point.

However, I need to set the DnD image to something indicating this is not allowed, I thought using the International NO symbol made sense but it is not defined as one of the NSDragOperation... flags. So I am thinking either this is not HIG compliant or it is and I just need to supply my own. I know I have seen other apps do it but it's doesn't been it's HIG compliant.
