Get UTI of NSPasteboardTypeFileURL - cocoa

Question

NSFilenamesPboardType got deprecated on 10.14 and the suggestion is to use NSPasteboardTypeFileURL. This gives me filename as
file:///.file/id=6571367.12885025918
and NSWorkspace is unable to get UTI out of it.
How to get UTI from NSPasteboardTypeFileURL?
Old code:
- (NSDragOperation)draggingEntered:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender
{
NSDragOperation sourceDragMask = [sender draggingSourceOperationMask];
NSDragOperation resultingDragMask = NSDragOperationNone;
NSPasteboard *pboard = [sender draggingPasteboard];
if ([[pboard types] containsObject:NSFilenamesPboardType]) {
NSArray <NSString *>*list = [pboard propertyListForType:NSFilenamesPboardType];
NSString *firstItem = [list objectAtIndexedSubscript:0];
NSError *error;
NSString *UTI = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] typeOfFile:firstItem error:&error];
if (!error) {
if ([[NSImage imageTypes] containsObject:UTI]) {
resultingDragMask = NSDragOperationCopy;
}
}
} else if ([[pboard types] containsObject:NSPasteboardTypeTIFF]) {
resultingDragMask = NSDragOperationCopy;
}
if (sourceDragMask & NSDragOperationCopy && resultingDragMask & NSDragOperationCopy) {
return NSDragOperationCopy;
}
return NSDragOperationNone;
}
With NSPasteboardTypeFileURL I get error which states file doesn't exist. Dragged from pasteboard:
Printing description of error:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “id=6571367.12885025918” couldn’t be opened because there is no such
file." UserInfo={NSURL=file:/.file/id=6571367.12885025918 --

Answer 1

I am late to this question but I found this works:
NSArray<Class> *classes = #[[NSURL class]];
NSDictionary *options = #{};
NSArray<NSURL*> *files = [pboard readObjectsForClasses:classes options:options];
for (NSURL *url in files)
{
NSString *str = [url path];
// TODO: do something with str.
}
Unlike the other answer, dropping multiple files works with this approach.

Answer 2

Getting path of NSURL object gets the original filename. The only thing missing is the array of file paths which NSFilenamesPboardType used to give.
NSString *fileURL = [[NSURL URLFromPasteboard:pboard] path];
Updated code:
- (NSDragOperation)draggingEntered:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender
{
NSDragOperation sourceDragMask = [sender draggingSourceOperationMask];
NSDragOperation resultingDragMask = NSDragOperationNone;
NSPasteboard *pboard = [sender draggingPasteboard];
if ([[pboard types] containsObject:NSPasteboardTypeFileURL]) {
NSString *fileURL = [[NSURL URLFromPasteboard:pboard] path];
NSError *error;
NSString *UTI = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] typeOfFile:fileURL error:&error];
if (!error) {
if ([[NSImage imageTypes] containsObject:UTI]) {
resultingDragMask = NSDragOperationCopy;
}
}
} else if ([[pboard types] containsObject:NSPasteboardTypeTIFF]) {
resultingDragMask = NSDragOperationCopy;
}
if (sourceDragMask & NSDragOperationCopy && resultingDragMask & NSDragOperationCopy) {
return NSDragOperationCopy;
}
return NSDragOperationNone;
}
