ExternalDropHandler chooseServiceFrom: -- cancel button is missing; (FileServices: dropping a TrueType file)
Hello
This is a follow up message on the thread http://forum.world.st/Dropping-a-morph-gives-me-a-funny-menu-td4939787.html
Dropping a ttf file gives the dialog box attached below.
I probably do not want to edit a TrueType font file but rather prefer to have a 'cancel' button instead.
-- Hannes
Details ======
The method used is #chooseServiceFrom: [1]
ExternalDropHandler chooseServiceFrom:
chooseServiceFrom: aCollection "private - choose a service from aCollection asking the user if needed" ^aCollection size = 1 ifTrue: [aCollection anyOne] ifFalse:[UIManager default chooseFrom: (aCollection collect:[:each| each label]) values: aCollection title: 'You dropped a file. Please choose a service:' translated withCRs].
aCollection contains a list of FileServices classes. These are classes which implement #fileReaderServicesForFile:suffix: [2].
BTW there are only a few ExternalDropHandler instances. Most cases are handled by a file service "external" to the "ExternalDropHandler".

Looks like it has a red X button, does it work?

If you click it the dialog just stays.
After clicking a second time the dialog box disappears.
This is not regular UI behaviour for a user dialog box.
