Yeah, I haven't figured out how cocoa dragging with multiple items is supposed
to work.

This is still true with the new bookmark manager.

Is this related to/dependant on either (or both) bug 225915 or bug 230340?

I'm fairly sure this bug is related to bug 230340. Not completely sure about bug
225915. In any case if it's related, this can be fixed for 0.9. I'm putting it
on the list, though if not related it should be moved to 1.0.

Bumping to 1.0 as this is not blocker material. Would be nice to have though.

CCing Wevah.

New STR:

1) Select multiple bookmarks in manager.
2) Drag to Finder.
3) Only first bookmark gets turned into a .webloc file.

This appears to be different from what was originally reported, but not by much.

Syncing with the dupe, plus a comment from the dupe:

FWIW, this works from Safari; it even shows a badge indicating the number of
bookmarks/history items I'm dragging.  It'll even drag an entire bookmarks
folder and create a folder with that name filled with all the weblocs (when you
drag the "folder" for an entire day of history, it just creates the weblocs
loose, though).

So presumably this is not unsurmountable.

An NSArray in property list format in the pasteboard should work, I think.

Wevah, do you have time to take a look at this?

It looks like Safari puts promised file(s), then BookmarkDictionaryListPboardType, then BookmarkStatisticsPboardType (the number of items and folders), then WebURLSWithTitlesPboardType (with array of URLs and array of titles), and then the  'url '/'urln' types for the first item and string types containing both URLs.
