Thank you, I had overlooked that. I fixed that, however that doesn't fix the app crashing when trying to set the textfield contents as a string, or why I get the path in the sheet function but not in this one...

So after reading the various image viewer tutorials on the web and getting through the StretchView chapter in Cocoa Programming for MAC OS X, I decided to try and write one that takes a couple of arrays of images and composites two images together. Click a button and the view updates to the next composite image. I was able to get the items in the arrays from open sheets and that all made sense. Before I even tried to start drawing things in Rect I tried to just put the path in a text box with the click of a button. I thought the below was the way to go:

- (IBAction)viewClientFiles:(id)sender
{
        NSString *imagePath = (clientFileName);
        [textField setStringValue:imagePath];
        NSLog(@"current client file name:%a",imageName);
}       

which compiles but hangs the app

The thing I don't really understand is that when I log clientFileName in openPanelDidEnd action the log is the path to the file, but in the above action it's "0x1.838000f085p-1029"

Why is that and how can I get that item's path?

thanks,
Aaron

The problem is the %a in the NSLog string. %a is a floating point number in hex format. In this case it's converting the address of the pointer imageName to a hex floating point number.

The correct conversion character for NSStrings (or most any Objective-C object) is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
