Hello, a few questions:

1. Is there any way to take drag + drop input (specifically the kind where you drop an icon onto the application's icon to launch it with that file) in cocoa without using the document handler (or whatever that is called).

2. Is there any way to allow this behavior with folders? I can get it to accept files by telling the application that it accepts "*" file extensions, however, I can't seem to get it to allow folders to be dropped on it.

I tried to see if it passes the path of the file dropped as an argument but it does not.

Essentially I am trying to make something with "DropStuff"-like behavior.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Jeff.

In your application's delegate, implement the application :openFile: method.

Create a document type in Project Builder with an OS type of 'fold' (without the quotes).
