Sorry - I'm new to this so I know I'm probably missing something here. But when I create the standalone application (e.g., for windows), I get one file -- e.g., test.exe. If I put media files in the same folder as this file, should it work? And how should I specify the path under 'player properties'? Thanks in advance!
