Hmm, worked perfect for me... I do use bindings do in combination with an array controller. This was all I needed to do:

// Set rating cell
SFHFRatingCell *starCell = [[SFHFRatingCell alloc] initImageCell: [NSImage imageNamed: @"star"]];
[starCell setContinuous: YES];
[starCell setHighlightedImage: [NSImage imageNamed: @"star_highlighted"]];
[starCell setPlaceholderImage: [NSImage imageNamed: @"star_placeholder"]];
[starCell setHighlightedPlaceholderImage: [NSImage imageNamed: @"star_placeholder_highlighted"]];
[starCell setMaximumRating: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 5]];
NSTableColumn *ratingColumn = [libraryTableView tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"rating"];
[ratingColumn setDataCell:starCell];
[ratingColumn bind:@"value" toObject: papersController withKeyPath:@"arrangedObjects.rating" options:nil];
[ratingColumn setSortDescriptorPrototype: [[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey: @"rating" ascending: NO] autorelease]];


oh, and yes I added support for a placeholder image in a subclass (nothing more than a little dot if no star is present at a position, and only if the row is selected). No clue where things go wrong in your case though, sorry.

I have downloaded and implemented SFHFRatingCell. My code:

in - (void)awakeFromNib

SFHFRatingCell *starCell = [[SFHFRatingCell alloc] initImageCell:
[NSImage imageNamed: @"star.tif"]];
[starCell setContinuous: YES];
[starCell setHighlightedImage: [NSImage imageNamed:
@"star_highlighted.tif"]];
[starCell setMaximumRating: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 5]];
[[pluginTable tableColumnWithIdentifier: @"rating"] setDataCell: starCell];
[starCell release];


Works fine. My code for setting the value of the cell:
'stars' is an id object.

   NSString    *identifier = [aTableColumn identifier];

//If the user is trying to set the on/off of the plugin, go ahead, allow it
if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"onOff"])
{
pluginClass *plugin = [tableItems objectAtIndex:rowIndex];
[plugin takeValue:anObject forKey:identifier];
}
else if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"rating])
{
stars = anObject;
}


Code for displaying the cell:

   if ([[aTableColumn identifier] isEqualToString:@"menu"])
   {
       [aCell setObjectValue:stars];
   }

That's it. It displays fine but if I switch from my app to another app
and back again, it crashes and gives a SIGBUS error. I'm missing
something but I don't know what. If only there was some documentation
with SFHFRatingCell.

Thanks, Alan

Hi, coincidentally I wanted to implement an iTunes rating indicator
today as well, and all of this has already been done by Buzz Andersen.
