Re: Thematic Crash - hard to debug

The lines that the debugger reports look like this:



if ([[img image] size].width > 64
        || [[img image] size].height > 64)

The most likely reason for a crash here is [img image] being nil. Just add a check for this condition a few lines above and see what happens.

Hope this helps,
Fred
