Hello everyone.. I need some help in using the NSURLCache to download a simple file.

I have a model-view-controller design app with more than 20 views and imageviews. In one view, I have a textfield that gets set to first responder when the view displays such that the keyboard is immediately visible.

My dataSource supplies the outline view with a tree of items of a custom class which represents file types (that is, you initialise it with a UTI). The first column is the display name of the file type (e.g., “Source code”, “Interface Builder NIB document”, etc.). The second column...
