- Do you know if it is possible to use imageNamed: when loading images from the caches folder (NSCachesDirectory) ?Martijn Thé– Martijn Thé2010-02-21 16:29:56 +00:00Commented Feb 21, 2010 at 16:29
- You should use imagewithContentsOfFile as it doesn't cache the image in memory. Repeated loadings with imageNamed: will drive up memory usage even after you replace or remove the image.TigerCoding– TigerCoding2011-04-09 11:25:35 +00:00Commented Apr 9, 2011 at 11:25
- @Javy, I dont think you mean to say that repeated loadings of the same image with imageNamed: will drive up memory usage right? Because it's cached after all. Upendra, I've tried to find the same answer - it's annoying to have all the images in the main directory but there doesn't seem to be a way - imageNamed always looks in the bundle rootRhubarb– Rhubarb2012-10-16 07:49:32 +00:00Commented Oct 16, 2012 at 7:49
- Loading many different images drive up memory usage. If you loaded 10 images in view controller one, then 10 different images from another view controller, they would all be cached. imageNamed is useful if you're loading the same images over and over. Either way, the cache is cleared of unused image data when memory is used up, but I think it's good practice to cache only when reusing the same image often.TigerCoding– TigerCoding2012-10-17 10:40:21 +00:00Commented Oct 17, 2012 at 10:40

print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
