I normally build standalones with separate sub-stacks so my data can be saved in the stacks rather than having to mess around with separate files. The sub-stacks appear in a folder inside my application folder and being a Mac user, I just throw the whole thing into my Application folder and it works fine.

From some recent posts, I gather that if I did the equivalent on a Windows system, there is a chance (depending on who is logged in) that the Applications (or equivalent) folder would be write-protected. That being so, I would rather store my sub-stacks in the Documents folder, but how will my standalone know where to find them?

The only idea I have been able to come up with is to have all the stacks built into the main app and when I need to save one, clone it and then use the the specialFolderPath function to locate the Documents folder and save there. Then I would be left with a lot of messy stack addressing issues which I think can be solved by adding the path of the data stack to "the stackFiles".

It all seems like a lot of trouble to have to go to. Maybe I would be better telling people to install into the Documents folder? Anyone else got any suggestions?

Cheers,
Sarah
