GWorkspace Dragndrop Question

[cehardin]

Hello Enrico,

I'm making a pure OpenStep Dock.app, in both Cocoa & GNUstep.  But I'm 
having a problem with drag events from GWorkspace.

When my app is running in OS X, I can retrieve the filenames being 
dragged (we both know how that is done) from the Finder with no problem 
at all.

However in GNUstep, when I'm getting doing my draggingUpdated and 
looking for what files GWorkspace is passing I can't get a valid 
NSArray of NSStrings from [pasteboard propertyListForType: 
NSFilenamesPboardType, I get a nil.

Before I do that I do check to see if you are passing a 
NSFilenamesPboardType and indeed you are.  However, when (Gnustep 
version) NSProperty tries to deserialize it it chokes and return nil.  
Gnustep consoles out a "Bad serialized data"

Any idea why this is happening?  I imagine I am writing the first app 
that tries to accept dragged files from GWorkspace so maybe you are 
doing something odd in your D&D, or maybe this is a gnustep bug?  I 
would greatly appreciate it if you could check this out on your end.  
I'm gonna take a stab at the GWorkspace sources myself but you know 
them way better than I do, of course, so you may already be aware of 
what type of problem is going on.

I'm also gonna post this in gnustep-dev in case it is a gnustep bug 
that somewhere there can shed some light on.

Thanks!
