ImageFile.m

/*
     File: ImageFile.m
 Abstract: ImageFile represents the items displayed in the tableview. ImageFile hangs on to the image name and its original path, and will fetch the actual NSImage from an NSCache. If the NSImage has been evicted, ImageFile will recreate it and put it back in the cache.  It also sends out a ImageFileDidMissCacheNotification at that time.
