Hello,
I’m creating an application with a table that has an NSImageCell column that I’m loading images into. I’m able to load images into the cells fine, along with all the other data that I need.
My only problem is the images I’m importing are anywhere from 1MB - 6MB so they take awhile to import. My question then is what can I do to speed up this process? I’ve kicked around the idea of creating small thumbnails on the fly that get imported but I don’t want the overhead of creating and cleaning up the thumbnails.
I know the image preview exists somewhere in the file since we see it in the icon and can be viewed in the Finder at 128x128. Thats plenty big for my needs. Is there any way to extract this information and use it in an image view? Can anyone think of another way to speed up the process of importing images?
Thanks,
Dan
