Drag-and-Drop Between Finder and App - Copy Only?

AppKit Observations
  • When I drag files (like images) from Finder into an AppKit app I receive a URL and can perform "Move" operations with the file.

  • Likewise when items are dragged from my AppKit app, Finder proceeds to "move" them.

I've rewritten the app in iOS to support iPad and iPhone and Mac and this behavior seems very different with Catalyst apps.


Catalyst Observations
  • Items dragged include a URL Itemprovider. They don't seem to be getting "moved" when dropped into Finder or the desktop. Instead they are being copied. I believe I'm specifying "allows move". This works as expected with an AppKit App dropping URL ItemProviders into Finder/Desktop.

  • When I drag an image file into the app, I do not receive a URL for the image. Just an "image.jpeg" Item provider.



My App acts as an organizational tool, so the ability to move files between folders on disk is inherent to the application and a pretty important feature.

Is this possible in Catalyst? If not, what's the best way to file a serious feature request for this?
