I've reported this as bug 769406
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=769406&group_id=5470&atid=105470>
but I thought others might be interested. I'm certainly curious if
others are having the problem.
I just upgraded to 10.2.6 today (my DiskWarrior upgrade finally
arrived) and the problem remains the same (no surprise).
-------- bug as reported -----
I am using MacPython 2.3b2 (installed via the 2.3b2-2 binary
installer) on MacOS 10.2.3.
I turned zappycfiles.py (from the Mac directory of the 2.3b2 source
distribution, which I also have) into a drag-and-drop applet by
dragging onto BuildApplet. On the whole it works fine (though no
console for feedback and I've not figured out how to get one), but I
am having two problems that are almost certainly caused by the same
underlying problem:
- The Dock does not acknowledge that it's an application. I cannot
drag it into the usual app area of the dock.
- DragThing (4.6.1, the current version) seems to agree with the
Dock. It will not let me drag stuff onto it (even with "Check file
types during drags" unchecked).
Obviously more of an annoyance than a crisis, but I hope worth fixing.
