Close does trigger a release (because I told it to in setReleasedWhenClosed) which in turn should dealloc the NSWindow instance.

Agreed - IFF no one else is retaining the window.

I'm not quite sure that I understand why you assign the content view to the window like that.
How else do I assign a content view to a window? I'm only reading Apple's documentation, now.

Perhaps I'm just not understanding you (when you create a new window it comes with a content view already in place). One valid reason for doing what you're doing is of course if the NSPanel instance that you're creating has some special content view that you want to use instead of the content view that's already in your "targetWindow"?


If I change the target display (in a multiple monitor setup) or change the target display mode (resolution of a selected monitor), the content view doesn't change (and shouldn't need releasing) but the NSWindow object instance does need to be remade, depending on the state of the application when the capture button is pressed.

Is it not enough to simply resize and / or reposition it (-[NSWindow setFrame:display:])?


But never mind that - To get somewhere with your crashes I suggest that you create an instance variable to your content view and retain it:

targetDisplayCino = [[NSPanel alloc] init];
targetDisplayCinoContentView = [[targetDisplayCino contentView] retain];


And later in dealloc:

	[targetDisplayCinoContentView release];

That should prevent it from being deallocated when you swap it between windows.
