I searched the archives and saw quite a lot discussion about 
NSFilesPromisePboardType with DnD. In my code the DnD part also works well. I 
also tried to implement NSFilesPromisePboardType for copy/paste, but never 
work. So my question is, after I put something into pasteboard, how can I get 
notification when another application does paste?

Here is my test code:

   NSPasteboard *pboard = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];
   NSMutableArray *types = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
   [types addObject:NSFilesPromisePboardType];
   [pboard declareTypes:types owner:self];
   [types release];

I also implemented namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination, which just provide 
the file path. After I run, the paste item with both Finder and 
PasteboardKeeper is never highlighted, so I can not paste. If I click 'Show 
clipboard', it shows nothing in the window, and show 'Clipboard contents: 
unknown' in the bottom status bar.

I also tried first put NSFilenamesPboardType into pboard, and implemented 
pasteboard:provideDataForType:, and still nothing happen.

So my question is:
1. Is there any promised file copy/paste?
2. How can I get paste notification? Can I get destination path then I can 
write files directly to destination like promised DnD did?

Thanks for any help._______________________________________________
