I feel like I'd need to see this in person to really get what's
going on for sure, but a few suggestions:
1. Implement all of the indexed accessors and use those. Specifically:
-replaceObjectInImageTableDataAtIndex:withObject:
It now works. There were two parts to the fix.
a) I added the interface only for -
replaceObjectInImageTableDataAtIndex:withObject:, not the add and
remove methods. In fact I did not have to implement any code, because
the method was never called and was not needed. So a one line
addition to the .h to declare the method and a one line addition to
the .m to implement an empty method.
b) I removed the willChange and didChange methods from the loop.
Those were confusing the controller and causing it to request all the
array elements. There was no need even to call replaceObject in my
loop. Changing a member of a mutable dictionary of information that
is in my mutable dictionary that implements my cache tells the
controller (somehow) that a change has occurred, so it reloads the
affected array element and gets the new data.
Perfect. I'm learning that the least code wins when it comes to Cocoa.
