However, based on the way I have simply put the row selection indexes NSIndexSet into NSData and into the pasteboard, the API as I see it at the moment (using NSDraggingSession property draggingFormation ) may not work for me without some additional work. I wasn't really wanting to put the represented objects of my rows on to the pasteboard, since NSView and NSTableView do a lot of the dragging API work already, it may have to be a feature I handle later, it looks like a lot of work for now, and the API seems spread out amongst a lot of different classes I am not familiar with… :( > > If you build a drag image from the entire selection no matter how large, the > image will be often too large to be usable.
