I'm not on v16 yet. Does this not work in v15? The tech tip says it works from 15.4. Is there no way to get a built application to remember the location of the data file between application upgrades? cheers James -- Sent from: http://4d.1045681.n5.nabble.com/4D-Tech-f1376241.html

OK great, thank you. That worked. So now I can install my app successfully inside the /Applications folder and not get permission errors or crashes. Next problem - it won't save the location of the 4D Data file between installations. The first time I launch, I show it where the data file is

OK so the answer to "does Dropbox add extended attributes" was obviously a resounding "yes". So I copied my structure, plug-ins and components into my local user folder, ditched the extended attributes using "xattr -cr " and re-built. Then I ran "xattr -lr " to see what I was left with. I got

Sorry for the delay responding to your suggestion, Tim. I tried adding that to my code but the app doesn’t even get as far as outputting anything, it just crashes on launch (at the moment). So I have investigated the whole code signing thing. I tried with a self-signed certificate and then
