I think it's mostly preference. My impression is that most experienced Cocoa developers would say your original way of getting the path should be replaced with pathForResource:ofType:. However, there's no general advantage to using NSImage over CGImage, or vice versa. Both are accepted/correct. One thing to watch out for -- and it's generated some traffic on this list recently -- is that NSImage creates hidden windows to manage resources. So if you're loading many, many, many images, NSImage can lockup the Window Server. But other than that, just go with whatever is easier or you have examples for. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
