What are you dropping ?
If its a file then test for a FolderItemAvailable - basically you’re getting a folderitem that contains a picture so you have to go open the file to get the actual picture
[quote=338133:@william plunkett]I am dragging a jpg file from the finder to the canvas.
So the dropped object is not the picture, it is the folderitem?[/quote]
yes
What you’re getting is a FILE that contains a picture
You could turn off acceptpicturedrop just to see this is the case
If you had this file open in preview & dragged that from preview to your app you’d get a picture drop
