- I need to be able to drag icons out of a Scrollview as well as drag icons
- into into them, like Edit permits in NS 3.0. Fortunately, each scrollview
- needs to only accept icons or allow them to be dragged out of the view,
- much like in the Mail.app scrollviews (applications can be dragged out of
- mailboxes, and attachments can only be dragged into new mail). In short,
- my application, needs to both take and give tiff images to the WorkSpace.
-
- Currently, I am modifying ImageText to be able to do this. I have created
- two documents, one is capable of either receiving an icon while the other
- allows it's icons images to be dragged out. However, I am not able to
- drag the icon out of my one window. The icon almost immediatley slides
- back, and the dragFile methods returns with a non-nil value. If I drag
- the icon fast enough, I can get the image to appear in the other document.
- The documentation leaves me with the impression that I should just be able
- to call dragFile with the icon's pathname, etc. and the rest is "magic".
- Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case.
-
- Has anyone implemented this functionality under NS 2.0? Any help or
- caveats would be appreciated.

- Btw, NS 3.0 is not an option. In my timeframe, it is vapor.
