Open Radar

 
NSFilesPromisePboardType has a note in the documentation:

> On OS X v10.6 and later, use (NSString *)kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise instead.

In Google Chrome 29 I switched from NSFilesPromisePboardType to kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise. The complaints about how drag-and-drop broke came pouring in, and I had to revert.

There are four issues I am reporting; this is one of them. I will update this radar with links to the other three when I am done filing them all.

When kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise is used to do drag-and-drop, dropped files do not get the location of the drop

Reproduction:
- Drag a promised file to the desktop in the lower-left corner and drop it there

Expected:
- The newly created file gets the drop location applied to it and is positioned in the lower-left corner, like it was when NSFilesPromisePboardType was used

Actual:
- The newly created file is positioned in the upper right of the desktop

Workaround:

I suppose it is possible to use an AppleEvent to position the file after the fact. This was my third user-reported bug caused by my use of kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise that I just didn't bother trying to fix it and reverted to using NSFilesPromisePboardType.
