appending image cells in table view

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#21

Hi All,

The images in the image cells are being deleted by the looks of it using regulus6633’s bits of code to test.

But I stiil have not solved the problem of why the memory is not being released.

Does anyone have any ideas of what may it may be?

Thanks

Does any one have a clue to this memory problem, Surely some else has come across this before!! is it a bug in ASS?

Failing an answer. is there a clear cut way for a pure novice such as myself to be shown how to add the images to the cell using object c in the applescript app.
So I can use alloc and release?? ( P.s should I start a new thread ?)

Many thanks
Mark

alloc is automatically done when you load your image,
but you need to delete it after use (no autorelease in AS) or you memory will increase!!!

make a test with big pictures, and take a look to Activity Monitor (memory use), it’s awfull

I found this subroutine in my app

-- ???: COMMUN - ReleaseImage
on ReleaseImage(l_ImageView) --release d'une view image (donner la view image comme arg)
	-- http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Reference/StudioReference/sr3_app_suite/sr_app.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20011217-ASKApplicationSuite.Commands.LoadImage
	
	-- Get a reference to the old image, if there is one
	set oldImage to image of l_ImageView
	
	-- Delete the old image (use try block in case no image)
	try
		delete oldImage -- release
	end try
	
	return
end ReleaseImage

bye

Hi MC,

I do not think you read any of my previous posts.
I know all about the load and delete image. But I am still getting a memory issue where the memory increases even though the loaded images are deleted.

So my question and request for help is:

sorry, should be my bad level of english
With this code I don’t have memory problem anymore (and I sometimes use hundred of files, but I never try with more than 200)

personnaly I didn’t manage to transfer “image AS id” to Cocoa, so I failed to release it in Cocoa

bye
