I am trying to get finder icon view like behavior in my application. Using

IKImageBrowserView.


IKImageBrowserVIew has a much better way to handle this specific labelling requirement.

The objects it stores should implement the informal protocol for - imageTitle and -imageSubtitle, and the view will draw those strings below the icons for you.

Here are the methods I have in a simple custom object I use - I think I originally got this from one of Apple's samples though I'm afraid I forgot exactly which one. It simply provides the browser with the path to each image.

- (NSString*) imageTitle { return [[mPath lastPathComponent] stringByDeletingPathExtension]; }


- (NSString*) imageSubtitle { NSDictionary* attribs = [self imageAttributes]; int w, h; w = [[attribs objectForKey:@"PixelWidth"] intValue]; h = [[attribs objectForKey:@"PixelHeight"] intValue]; return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d x %d", w, h]; }
