Yeah -- there is no chugging if you drag directly to Xcode; it does not
recognize the drag at all. This is a known issue in Xcode that does not seem
to be a high priority. By looking at the drag with DragPeekerX, it seems
like the promises (which are put first in the drag) are pissing off Xcode
(even though the file URLs are also present). My guess is that the Finder
"calls in" the promise as soon as you drag over its window, and that
propagates to anyone who looks in the drag after the finder has called in
the promises. But that is just a guess.

BTW, I don't think that it is a CW bug; all the info is in the drag. I think
it is very likely an Xcode bug in that it is erroring out and aborting
receiving the drag before it actually finds the info that it is looking for.
But all the info is there.

In any case, it is a neat (and very useful to me) workaround for a problem
that has been radared and bugging me for YEARS.
