Hi Timm,
Hello all...
This strikes me as odd. I frequently use text files as containers
of data (prefs, and the like) in my stacks. On openStack, I put the
path of the folder containing the stack into a global so I can use
it later. Not a problem when I'm running as a stack...text files
are created and modified as expected during use (I use get/put URL).
put "Whatever" into url ("file:"&appFolderPath&"HereIAm.txt")
get url ("file:"&appFolderPath&"HereIAm.txt")
When I open the text file later with a text editor, I see what I
expect to see.
However, when I make a standalone app of the stack, I no longer see
the text files in the folder. Are these text files being set as
"invisible" in the finder?
No, but your files can be found INSIDE of the application bundle :-)
"the path of the folder containing the stack" is this one in a
standalone on OS X:
../Name_of_your_standalone.app/Contents/MacOS/
Your text files can be found in this folder!
Right-Click on your standalone and select "Show contents" to check it
out
I'm running Enterprise 2.8.1 in OSX 10.5.6.
You will have to take this into account when initializing your global
variable:
...
put the filename of stack "Mainstack a.k.a. the standalone" into
tFilename
set itemdel to "/"
if the platform = "MacOS" then
delete item -4 to -1 of tFilename
else
delete item -1 of tFilename
end if
global appFolderPath
put tFilename & "/" into appFolderPath
...
You get the picture :-)

Timothy R. Ponn
