- so there are three ways to get the image file
what criteria should I use in deciding which to use ?
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.
