Hi,

I’m developing a QuickLook plugin for a custom binary file format.

As long as I did not cared about memory leaks everything was fine. Then I fixed the leak with the help of Instruments. Everything runs fine from xCode and Instruments but now it crashes if I run the plugin from the finder.


Do you mean quicklookd crashes but qlmanage does not?
Yes.


I have set up a custom executable with "/usr/bin/qlmanage" and the argument "-p path/to/my/file".

Any advice is very welcome.

We lack information here. We'd need to know where it is crashing.

This is definitely a memory problem. Sometimes it is about memory being double released and sometimes things like: 20.05.09 13:42:00 quicklookd[38490] [QL ERROR] Preview request generator for <QLPreviewRequest /Users/georg/...> raised '*** - [NSCFString saveGraphicsState]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x138880'

the only call to saveGraphicsState is: [NSGraphicsContext saveGraphicsState];

So this seem exactly what happends with wrong retain/releases. The Problem is, I cannot debug it because in the debugger everything is fine.

Thanks

Georg
