Was this fixed by http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8027913 or http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7124253?

Have you verified the fix?

When dragging a JPEG (which is not embedded in HTML) from a web browser to my app, I never get a URL or a File list flavor. What I reliably see is:

java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor[mimetype=image/x-java-image;representationclass=java.awt.Image]

and depending on the browser a bunch of other text/... flavors. But I'd much rather have a URL or a file...

This is on OS X 10.9.1 and FireFox 26, Chrome 31 and Safari 7.0.1, Java build 1.8.0-ea-b121.
