Of course :)

I've used the default XCode templates (document and non-document 
based). Now when I try to drag something onto that application - I 
just can't. Do I maybe just need to enable that application for the 
particular file type? An what happens if the app is not document based?

As a little test project I would like to receive the file and just 
save it to /tmp.
