Allowing the user to submit images within a Cocoa application

Question

How do you set up an object in interface builder that will allow the user to submit an image (like when editing a vCard in Address Book) and save it to the corresponding entry in the database being managed by Core Data?

Solution

Use an NSImageView object. On the first panel of the inspector for the object, you'll see a checkbox marked Editable that will allow you to decide whether to accept submissions or just display output.

Bindings for the object are as follows:

-> Value.Data
    Bind to: Source Entity
    Controller Key: selection
    Model Key Path: Name of the attribute within the entity storing the image data

Answer 1

I think that NSImageView will do the trick. Link to reference: link text.

If I remember well this component is available on Interface Builder..
