I'm trying to generate hundreds of small NSImages in one app and pass them to another app. The reason for this is that Quicktime is not thread-safe, which apparently means that you can't have two movies open at the same time (or at least not two copies of the same movie). And I need to have an NSMovieView open and also a bunch of thumbnails of that movie in a timeline view. So I thought, have a helper app create the images and pass them across

So anyway, I can communicate strings across fine, but passing an NSImage seems to crash the sending app (SIGNAL 11). So is there a way to send images from one app to another, and if so, how do I do it?

thanks

I'd archive it to NSData first. Just use the NSArchiver and NSUnarchiver class methods and pass them along.

Hope this helps,
