Hello ...

I programmed an app, built it in "deployment" mode, and put it into my "Applications" folder.

The app works fine when I'm logged in as me; when I'm logged in as an alternate user, I get an odd problem: in a few of my custom views, the graphics won't draw. In similar custom views within another aspect of the application, the graphics draw normally.

I've verified that the images I'm drawing are loaded into memory and so forth. The app seems to act normally in creating prefs for the alternate user, and apart from the prefs, the app shouldn't care who's using it; it doesn't interact with the file system or anything. It's a simple game.

This happens on other machines, too. The user that puts the app into the Applications folder (say, by downloading it from my iDisk) has no trouble, but anyone else logging in to the machine gets blank views (while other views are okay).


Any suggestions on what I should be looking for?

Sounds like borked permissions on your images. Check that everybody can read them.

*ding!* (and *d'oh!*)

Permissions indeed were the problem. Of course, that makes perfect sense now, but it's odd that some of the images were properly flagged while others weren't. I can't think of anything I did differently with the two sets.

*shrug*

Thanks ...
