I am updating some programs to work in Snow leopard (10.6). 10.6 changed the pasteboard system. Copy and paste is working (finally), but dragging of "filepromises" is not.
According to the documentation (NSString *)kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise is the new pasteboardtype rather than NSFilesPromisePboardType. But when I try to drag something to the finder, no new files are added.
I am using the following code in a "dummy" project to understand the new pasteboard system.
The tableview is connected via its delegate and datasource to an instance of MyDocument.
