This is not correct. I have built a sample project and instantiated a custom, do-nothing NSObject subclass in my nib. It experiences the same behavior (one allocation, one retain, and one release) whether it is wired up to an outlet or not. Someone needs to release your top level objects. Since your file's owner is usually doing the nib loading, it makes sense for that object to do the releasing of those objects. This is why the file's owner's outlets are typically assigned, not retained. The nib loading machinery has taken care of the retain. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
