Hi, All,
I'm sorry for an offtopic, so I'm writing just to close the thread.

If I feel my app should come forward in both cases I do think it
should be okay to implement it that way, but there *is* precedent
for not activating the app.
I'd even say, there were no precedents (I could not find them at
least) of doing anything else. Though I can't explain it for myself...

For more "guidance" see what other popular or Apple apps do (e.g.
QuickTime Player, etc) or do some usability testing with some target
users.

Dragging something onto an application icon - either in the Finder or
in the Dock - is an explicit request to bring that application to the

Dragging something inside another application's window is not.
As for "something", I could agree, moreover, I'd hate it if iTunes
would activate itself each time I drop a link into the playlist. But
as for my case, when we can expect nothing but the only result - a
playback beginning, it looks as surprise for me, when ALL video
players, I saw, behave in the same "silent" manner -- they do not
activate themself.
or do some usability testing with some target users.
If you do that, please make sure they are actually Mac users, not
Windows users sitting in front of a Mac. :P
Perhaps I'm still a Windows user :(
And as this is rather off-topic for cocoa-dev, I'll leave it at that.
I just tried to give some advice. Do what you think is best.
It looks like the best modus operandi here is:
"Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change"
Thanks to all who answered!
Best regards,
Alex
