You might try processing the files outside of the drag event.
Change:
modal stack "AddMetaData"
addFiles(dragData["files"])
To:
put the dragData["files"] into theFiles
send "ProcessDrop theFiles" to me in 0 milliseconds
And add:
on ProcessDrop pFiles
modal stack "AddMetaData"
addFiles pFiles
end ProcessDrop
One thing to note is that it is possible for dragData["files"] to disappear
after a drag and drop operation. I have seen graphics applications that make
a file available during drag and drop but then delete it when the drag and
drop operation is complete. In this scenario you need to copy the files to a
new location in dragDrop and then process the copies outside of the drag and
drop operation. This scenario is probably rare though.
Even if this solves the problem I would recommend filing a bug report so the
issue can possibly be fixed in the future.
