After Scott Raney implemented this, I've been
testing other apps to check their support of
drag and drop.
For me, drag and drop only work on fields,
not on cards.
Had anyone had success draging and droping on
a card?

When you drag a file from the finder you get
a path to the file. Then to write a file to
the finder, probably you export the image:

export image ID 9234 to 
URL "binfile:Desktop/next.png"

or a similar path...

But, How do you get the path if you are dragging
to a folder in a removible disk or to another
application that supports drag and drop?
