This paper shows how to go much further than mere clipboard access by digging into the lower levels of the Drag and Drop APIs and building a program that can save files directly to the desktop via dragging, complete with proper file icons and drag feedback. When one uses an editor to write a large document, one often saves it to a particular location on the filesystem - in a Projects folder perhaps. This is because one will keep the file around for a long time, so they want to store it for later use. Small documents, however, are often created for transient reasons.
