I need to get the URLs of all files dragged/dropped into my application from Finder. I have a Cocoa app running on 10.6 which does this by using the new 10.6 NSPasteboard APIs which handle multiple items on the pasteboard. I'm trying to backport this app to 10.5. How do I handle this on 10.5? If I do something like below, I only get ...

Occasionally, as this is under development, once in a while I do something wrong (I don't think it's related to the copy command) and the app crashes. Once in a while, this has a...
I'm automating a copy command to place some text on the pasteboard every second or so - unfortunately this is my only way of accessing the text, which is in another application. After copying, I access the pasteboard text and process it. Sometimes, the copy command will be sent when nothing is selected - for example in textEdit, if the...

I'm writing an app that needs to work in both 10.5 and 10.6 (We still have PPC machines). My development machine is 10.6.4 with Xcode 3.2.3, and I have a 10.5.8 machine with Xcode 3.1.2 on it. I use remote debugging to test out the app on the 10.5.8 machine, and I've run into a problem with a Drag and Drop method that only occurs when r...
