Just wanted to say: Problem solved!
My Info.plist was the problem.
I defined the NSSendFileTypes as NSStringPboardType and
public.plan-text. But I had to define the NSSendTypes. I also removed
the "Required Context".
<key>NSServices</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>NSMenuItem</key>
<dict>
<key>default</key>
<string>Handle string</string>
</dict>
<key>NSMessage</key>
<string>handleString</string>
<key>NSPortName</key>
<string>MyApp</string>
<key>NSSendFileTypes</key>
<array/>
<key>NSSendTypes</key>
<array>
<string>NSStringPboardType</string>
<string>public.plain-text</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
Now everything works!
Regards Sebastian.
