thank you, will try this.
But does that mean that my previous "chmod" does not stick?
I noticed in the macOS file preview that the SHELL stuff contains something
like this:
...
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation

This works for me:
set the myp of this stack to compress(url ("binfile:"))
Then
put the temporary folder & "/"& into f1
replace "//" with "/" in f1 -- avoid platform bugs
put decompress(the myp of this stack) into url ("binfile:")
put shell("chmod 777 ") into nirwana

This works for me:
set the myp of this stack to compress(url ("binfile:"))
Then
put the temporaryfolder & "/"& into f1
replace "//" with "/"in f1 -- avoid platform bugs
put decompress(the myp of this stack) into url ("binfile:")

Re: "copy files", specialfolderpath("resources") and missing files = SHOWSTOPPER
The specialFolderPath "engine" maps to the resources folder but it sounds like the mapping doesn't go the other way. Maybe using "engine" to find all resources might work?

Re: "copy files", specialfolderpath("resources") and missing files = SHOWSTOPPER
The function is revRedirectMacOSResources in ide-support/revsaveasstandalone.livecodescript (repo path). The code doesn't explicitly state the reason, but I think it has to do with where executable content needs to be inside an app bundle. You may be better off using the engine path for executable content. This code has been there for a long time though. It was in there when the livecodescript file was originally split out in Jan 2015.

Re: "copy files", specialfolderpath("resources") and missing files = SHOWSTOPPER
Some files are moved to a different location based on type. I can’t recall the
details and would need to look at the source. It is related to binary code
though. Stuff is copied first and then moved on a second pass. That would
explain the presence of the empty folders.
Thanks,

Re: "copy files", specialfolderpath("resources") and missing files = SHOWSTOPPER
Maybe noone got the point of my posting?
The point is, that I add files and folder to the standalone via the "Copy
files" tab
in the "Standalone Application Settings", however some of these files are
missing
in the final runtime. However instead they can be found in ->
specialfolderpath("engine")
What is happening here and why does LC not copy everything to the RESOURCES
folder?

"copy files", specialfolderpath("resources") and missing files = SHOWSTOPPER
Hi friends,
I am currently making an existing app "64Bit safe" for a customer with LC 9.5
on macOS 10.14.6.
In this app there are some "compiled shell scripts" (? I guess, have no infor
about this)
which changes the keyboard layout (chinese and back) to german depending of the
target
fields in LC.
Structure (three files and two folders):
## File
extSetInputMethod
## Folders
x86-64/extSetInputMethod
x86-32/extSetInputMethod
I guess the first one checks the current architecture and then calls the
correct version for this.
Whatever, this works fine in the customers older apps.
So I added all this via the "Copy files" tab in the "Standalone Application
Settings"
However these files were NOT in specialfolderpath("resources") in the runtime?
In the runtime I find this:
the_actual_app.app
-> /Resources
-> /Resources/Externals ## empty, no externals used in app
-> /Resources/x86-64 ## EMPTY!?
-> /Resources/x86-32 ## EMPTY!?
File -> extSetInputMethod = missing and the two latter folders are EMPTY!?
Where on earth are the contents of the other folders?
But I find this in:
the_actual_app
-> /MacOS
-> /MacOS/extInputMethod ## the missing file! see above
-> /MacOS/x86-64/extInputMethod ## the missing file
-> /MacOS/x86-32/extInputMethod ## the missing file
...
So calling the shell apps in -> specialfolderpath("resources") does of course
not work!?
If I copy them manually to the correct folder in the runtime, they stop working.
So all in all this is a real showstopper! :-/
Am I overlooking something?
Is this correct behaviour of LC?
What can I do?
Thanks for any hints!
Best
Klaus
