I'm hoping I can get some advice from the people on this list who know a lot more that I do about the mechanics of distributing a standalone application.

While developing my application, I wrote a number of commands that I insert as front scripts to the app. The scripts for these command were all on cards within the application stack file but I've moved them out of that file and into a separate code library file so I can use them in other future apps. I changed the insert commands in my application to load the scripts from the code library stack file instead of from the application stack file and all seems to be working fine after a couple of initial glitches.

Now I'm realising that when I distribute the application as a standalone, the file path to the code library stack (currently hard coded in my app) will certainly be different than it is on my computer.

I have the same issue with a library of objects with custom behaviors that currently resides on a card in my application which I would like to move out of the application and into a separate object library stack file for use in other apps. Plus, there's a more difficult problem with the object library in that the behavior definitions are all hard coded long ids that include a reference to the file path to my application stack.

I guess I could just include a copy of both library stacks in every app but that seems to defeat the purpose of central libraries

I'm sure these problems have been solved many times and I'd appreciate some guidance on the best way to handle this before I go charging down the wrong path!


Thanks,

Pete Haworth
