Animated images in a NSTableView

[Dave Carrigan]

I am having problems with animated images in a NSTableView (specifically an animated GIF). After some experimentation, I have determined that the problem seems to be that the view doesn't update itself after the next frame in the animation loads. I determined this after I noticed that the images did change any time I resized the table's window. As a workaround, I created a NSTimer that fires off a - setNeedsDisplayInRect to the table view every .05 seconds.

This works, but has a couple of problems:





Does anybody have suggestions on a better solution?

1. It seems like invalidating the entire table column might affect performance if I get a lot of rows. 2. It doesn't work with Cocoa bindings. From what I've been able to figure out, every time I call setNeedsDisplayInRect, the binding calls the model's image getter method, and this seems to reset the animation to the first frame.
