Great app, and I've been emailing with their support folk and have gotten great responses as well. (Not about bugs, but I've been suggesting features & changes.)

Matt Legend Gemmell - What have you tried?
http://mattgemmell.com/2008/12/08/what-have-you-tried
YES! YES! YES!!!
This is true in every context... It's also why I created the 'PersonalGoogle' AIM account so many years ago... Even back in the (late) 90s, people would ask me questions that a simple google search could answer.
Not that I necessarily MINDED... I like helping people, especially when it's easy. *grin* But on the other hand, knowing how to solve problems & research answers is an acquired skill...

Memory Management Programming Guide for Cocoa: Autorelease Pools
I've been reading both that "an autorelease pool is created around each event cycle" and that it isn't. I finally found the answer "from the horse's mouth" as it were:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Articles/mmAutoreleasePools.html
The Application Kit automatically creates a pool at the beginning of an event cycle (or event-loop iteration), such as a mouse down event, and releases it at the end, so your code normally does not have to worry about them. There are three cases, though, where you might create and destroy your own autorelease pools:
So - as long as you're a UIKit / AppKit application, you're all set...
