Re: Drag&Drop image opacity

According to the docs: The Dragged Image The image that is dragged in a dragging session is simply an image that represents the data on the pasteboard. Although a dragging destination can access the image, its primary concern is with the pasteboard data that the image represents—the dragging oper

Proper way to retain member of AppDelegate?

Hi, I'm working on my first ARC-enabled app, but am having a problem with how to keep my delegate's member data alive. At startup (in the delegate's applicationDidFinishLaunching: function), my delegate initializes a data object (a member of the delegate) containing some NSStri

Crash from NSURLConnection if delegate released too soon?

Hi, I've got an NSURLConnection owned by an NSObject that implements the NSURLConnectionDelegate protocol, used by a C++ object inside an AudioUnits plug-in. I'm seeing a crash occur if I close the plug-in (and thus call dealloc on the delegate object). The crash happens about a minut
