Hi all,
I'm trying to use the new 10.6 NSPasteboard APIs. In NSPasteboard.h
there's a section "The recommended approach for reading URLs" which is
what I'm using.
I'm trying to allow drops of any flat file URL (no folders, packages,
volumes, http URLs, ftp URLs, etc.).
So I use kUTTypeData for which the docs say "The type identifier for any
sort of simple byte stream, including files":
NSArray* classes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSURL class]];
NSArray* UTIs = [NSArray arrayWithObject:
(NSString*)kUTTypeData];
NSDictionary* options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber
numberWithBool:YES],
NSPasteboardURLReadingFileURLsOnlyKey,
UTIs,
NSPasteboardURLReadingContentsConformToTypesKey,
nil];
NSArray* fileURLs = [self readObjectsForClasses:classes
options:options];
this works mostly, but not for some files. The distinguishing factor
seems to be that some files are getting 'dynamic UTIs', ex:
$ mdls -name kMDItemContentType /path/to/file.ext
kMDItemContentType = "dyn.ah62d4rv4ge81a5d3"
What gives? Why do some files get these dynamic UTIs? Is
NSPasteboardURLReadingContentsConformToTypesKey therefore useless?
Thanks,
--
