Hello everybody,
I have two lines that load an imageRep of an image on the HD, and
they're leaking memory like hell. Any ideas why this is happening? It
shouldn't, that's the problem.
Code:
imageRep = [NSBitmapImageRep imageRepWith
Data:[NSData
dataWithContentsOfFile:@"/Library/Desktop Pictures/Aqua Blue.jpg"]];
[imageRep release];
Say I want to load the Aqua Blue desktop pic. *Every* time this gets
called my test app's virtual memory usage increases with 3 MB or more,
I don't even need to load different pics. Any ideas to prevent this
from happening? Shouldn't the release actually release the memory? I
also tried creating the data separately and releasing it separately,
but that doesn't solve the leak either.
All ideas much appreciated,
Jan Van Boghout
