I am using an NSOutlineView with drag and drop support. There is an NSOutlineViewDataSource function entitled outlineView(_:pasteboardWriterForItem:).
This call serializes the item passed into the function and allows the user to retrieve the serialized item in outlineView(_:acceptDrop:item:childIndex:)
@MainActor optional func outlineView(
_ outlineView: NSOutlineView,
acceptDrop info: NSDraggingInfo,
item: Any?,
childIndex index: Int
) -> Bool
That being said, I don't understand how I would write multiple rows of data using outlineView(_:pasteboardWriterForItem:) . It gets called for each item being moved, but the pasteboard only keeps a reference to the last item. Apple deprecated several multiple row write/move functions.
How should I implement this? I have tried several solutions but they're hacky and seem like they're not the canonical solution.
The information is in the info
parameter.
There is an API enumerateDraggingItems(options:for:classes:searchOptions:using:) of NSDraggingInfo
to enumerate and proceed the items.
In outlineView(_:pasteboardWriterForItem:)
you usually just
return item as? NSPasteboardWriting
