You can only validate by the type in your service validation method, not the contents of the pasteboard. You can switch to using more specific UTIs for our service (if you only, for example, want to accept a file, folder, or package). You can also use NSRequiredContext in your service specification to restrict service availability based on pasteboard content. - Jim_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
