IKImageBrowserView crash when providing it lots lots of pictures?

Re: IKImageBrowserView crash when providing it lots lots of pictures?

IKImageBrowserView is known to support something like 250,000 images so I'd look somewhere else. Providing the full crash stack trace might help understand what object you (or some other place) is likely to be over-released. Also, enabling NSZombie might help you debugging the problem. --
