Actually, now that I think of it, an even simpler, more sweeping solution is to
make the split view controller your own UISplitViewController subclass, and
implement didReceiveMemoryWarning to return immediately:
- (void) didReceiveMemoryWarning {
return;
}
Now the detail view will never be unloaded and the problem won't arise. I did
sort of suggest this the last time we discussed this topic; I just didn't spell
it all the way out. m.
