Re: [Q] Releasing objects owned by Gorm interface element

[Gregory John Casamento]

Sam,

It is the responsibility of the app to release certain top level objects
contain in the nib (in this place, gorm) file.

Here is a good place to start:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingResources/Concepts/NibFileLoaded.html

You need to maintain a connection to any windows, menus, controllers or other
toplevel objects you have created.   Generally, these are the objects you see
in  IB/Gorm in the "Objects View".

Please make sure you are correctly deallocating these.
