Memory Leak - UITableView - Image from CoreData

[dabronx]

Hi - my first posting - been searching for help and trying not to post a dumb question, but can't find a solution...

I have the following code in my cellForRowAtIndexPath method:

NSMutableSet *rowSet = [oneObject mutableSetValueForKey: @"photos"];
		
// If the user has photos attached, sort them in the order they were added, and grab the first one...
if ([rowSet count] > 0) {
	NSMutableArray *rowArray = [NSArray arrayByOrderingSet:rowSet byKey:@"uniqueID" ascending:YES];
	
	// Get the first photo they added - use it as row image for table
	NSManagedObject *	relatedObject = [rowArray objectAtIndex:0];	

	// Assign the image to the cell
	cell.imageView.image = (UIImage*) [relatedObject valueForKey:@"photoData"];  
}
else
	[[cell imageView] setImage:self.emptyImage];

When I grab a photo from CoreData and assign it to the cell's ImageView.Image, it shows up just fine. If there are only a dozen or so rows that I scroll through, no problem. As soon as I scroll through the whole list of 50 or so rows, I start to get "Received memory warning. Level=1" and a few rows later - crash.

None of this happens in the simulator, nor does Instruments find any leaks...

If I copy the image from the ManagedObject to the Cell, using an intermediary GraphicContext type of thing, it works, and the leaks go away but it is painfully slow - too slow for actual usage...

Help!!! Please.

I "fixed" my problem by putting a thumbnail image in my main table instead of getting the first image from a related table - "photos". Now all the data being displayed in the cell is from the same NSManagedObject and things work fine... very strange...

Its also much faster (obviously) since I'm neither copying the image, nor referencing another table in my DB.

This forum and site are fabulous, by the way - I'd never have gotten as far as I have without constantly looking things up here.

Thanks!
