If I refer to an image in a subfolder at the same level as the app then in OSX how are the images referenced from with in the bundle? It seems I might get in trouble then renaming the OSX bundle.Suppose you have a .rev stack file and in it's folder, you have a sub-folder called "Images" containing "image.png". To load that image while in the IDE, you could use this script:
put the fileName of this stack into tFile set the itemDel to "/" put "Images/image.png" into last item of tFile set the fileName of image 1 to tFile
When an OS X bundle is built, what looks like an application file is actually a special sort of folder. Right-click / control-click on the application icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu.
You will see a single folder called "Contents". Open that and you will see two more folders plus three other files. Open the "MacOS" folder and you will find a file called "Revolution". This is your actual application and the file containing your stacks. If you copy your Images folder into the MacOS folder in the bundle, it will be accessible using the exact same script as when in the IDE. Plus, your images and any other external files you might want to access, are all hidden neatly inside the bundle, allowing drag & drop installation.
None of this is affected by changing the name of the actual bundle.
referencing things is a bit complicated.It is a bit more trouble than hard-wiring file paths, but it pays off in the end as it allows a lot more code-reuse and flexibility.
That's fine, so long as you don't want to hide anything inside the bundle.
I might just stick to renaming the OS9 version so it is distinguishable from the OSX version and leave the OSX version alone.
I finally got the windows autorun.inf version runningWell done.
