Icon and Update

As I'm doing finishing touches for a beta release, I'm hoping someone can design an icon for me. Specifically, I'm looking for a picture of an EVE ship flying towards you and shooting (I'm thinking Caracal as the best looking one) and the letters 'EMS' above it. Lastly, it has to have the shiny Mac icon feel to it. If anyone can think of a more appropriate one, I'd be willing to consider.

Oh, and the current build as of this posting is very stable. The only downside is that every time the application launches, it forces an update on all of its XML files. For the skill in training and skill queue files, this isn't a big concern. However, for the character sheet, it does tack on several seconds per character in loading time. I'm somewhat torn with what to do.

I also ran this program overnight. For every update, I'm loosing about half a megabyte of memory to leaks. Personally, I find that acceptable for now. Using Instruments to track the leaks has been tediously difficult as it takes over 5 minutes to launch the app and more often then not, Instruments crashes.

  1. Vadim,

    Why not just use garbage collection to solve your memory leak problem?

  2. As far as I know, garbage collection isn't available for 10.4.
