This will be more efficient for some image types. > > if(NULL == err) { // no error > gtk_list_store_append (store, &iter); > gtk_list_store_set(store, &iter, COL_PIXBUF0, scaledPixBuf, -1); > g_object_unref(scaledPixBuf); > g_object_unref(newPixBuf); Yours is a more generic question than whether you need to do it for iconviews or not. It has to do with how to manipulate a GObject instance in liststores/treemodels. In general, any time you set a GObject in a model, this will own a reference. So, if you don't need your reference, you can remove it. On the other way around, when you retrieve a GObject from a model, you'll own a reference that you need to remove when you are done with the object.
