I use the following function to show an open panel and get the path to
a file. I have inserted three NSLog calls.
This first time I call this function the panel opens immediately and
the three log messages follow each other immediately.
The second and every later time I call this function, performance is
terrible -- there is about two or three seconds between the first two
log messages though the third follows immediately after the second.
The evidence is that [NSOpenPanel openPanel] is the culprit. Is there
something I need to do (i.e., close) to the open panel before I return
from this function? I tried making the openPanel static and only
creating it once, but this caused a crash.
Thanks very much for any advice.
