When embedded graphics are used in a running app the app's real
memory usage (as displayed in Activity Monitor) goes up each time a

graphic is using once it is not being displayed anymore?
Keeping all the graphics in a file or files and then reading those
in to a single graphic variable as needed (rather than embedding all
the graphics) solves the problem of memory usage going up and up,
but if I could release the memory after a graphic is no longer
displayed I could just drop the graphics into the project and not be
concerned about swelling memory usage.
Hi John
This is an age old question and I've never seen a solution for it
except to to keep the files external as you've suggested. On OSX you
could keep the external files within your app's bundle so that it
still looks like a single file app to your users.
Hope this helps,
Joe Huber
