Re: GWorkspace Dragndrop Question

[cehardin]

Ok, I think I got it...

GNUstep doest like to use:
NSArray* files = [pasteboard propertyListForType:NSFilenamesPboardType],

(but Cocoa does)



Instead I used a :

NSData* pbData = [pasteboard dataForType:NSFilenamesPboardType]
and then did a
NSArray* files = [NSUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData: pbData]

to get the filenames and it seems to work fine...


Now I wonder if this will work in Cocoa...  This method of doing this 
seems to be depreciated in Cocoa.
