Use case: Accept DND from Mail.app
Problem: Currently, it seems that this would require a custom built VM Solution: VM should accept all drops by default and let the user decide what to do btw is there an issue tracker for the VM where I can open a ticket? From original discussion at http://forum.world.st/Accepting-Email-Drops-on-Pharo-Window-tt4841915.html#a4841939 :

The carbon and cocoa VM does support drag and drop see https://isqueak.org/ioGetNextEvent Maybe someone ripped out the image side logic? Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 11, 2015, at 4:41 AM, Sean P.

The reason I thought it was a VM issue is that, for Mail.app message drops (unlike with file drops), the icon flies back to Mail.app, and no event is generated (i.e. `Sensor nextEvent` never returns a non-nil value). Also, with files, the Pharo window shows an inside border, apparently indicating that the drop will be accepted. Is all that determined on the image-side? If so, can you point me in the direction of that code?

There is a pool variable EventTypeDragDropFiles Look at method generateDropFilesEvent: For Cocoa there is sqSqueakOSXDropAPI.m So it should support drag/drop of files As it only supports NSFilenamesPboardType [self registerForDraggedTypes: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: NSFilenamesPboardType, nil]]; On Tue, Aug 11, 2015 at 7:18 AM, Sean P.

And Bob's your uncle! So, what I'm suggesting is that we add support for other-than-file drags (in my two cases URLs and file promises). Reference: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DragandDrop/Tasks/DraggingFiles.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001288-CEGJFDFG
