I thought that was all I had to do. In my case I’m using .epub files, but I used a bunch of different combinations to try and find the right magic string, and I still can’t get anything to drop. If I right-click the file, I can Open it with my app (it shows up in the list registered for the .epub file extension). But I still can’t just drop a file on the running app.

I’m still looking at it though. :)
