Hi Jeff,

 Has anyone been able to get drag and drop to work out of iPhoto. I have
 tried acceptPicture, file and text all with no luck. I would like to add
 drag and drop to my program imagebuddy and will give a free copy to anyone
 that can help.

Well, I'm guessing it has to do with iPhoto being a Cocoa app, and your app
being Carbon, they could be using different (and incompatible) drag types.
I'm not sure how well drag & drop currently works across the different types
of apps, but that would be my guess.

I would try testing different Cocoa apps (like Omniweb) and see if they work
with your app, if they do, you know it's possible, otherwise I would assume
you're out of luck.

I was thinking that cocoa drag types are simply by .4 extension...

are you doing that correctly?
