Re: OS X Standalone Prog Folder Problem?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Just a thought, My classic apps have a data folder with the .rev file 
in it. Could that be where your file path starts? If so it is one level 
deeper than your OSX app. I had a similar problem with an autorun win 
cd and ended up having to put the media at the root level for OS9 and 
OSX but also have it available one level deep for the win file. In 
future projects I will know this and always put my media at least one 
level deep in separate folders. i.e.:
CD:
	Readme.txt
	OS9 App
	OSX App
	autorun.inf -- for win.exe file in Data folder
	WinShortcut -- to Win.exe one level deeper for easy nav when not 
autorun.inf used
		Data -- Folder one level deep
			Win.exe App
			Media -- folder for all media
				media.wav
				media.png
				media.jpg -- etc.
			Library1.rev -- Mac library file
			Library2.rev -- etc.
			Data -- folder for win library files
				winLibrary.rev -- win library file

This way all apps can get to library files and media files as they need 
to in distributed form.

I'm using Rev 2.1.2 under Mac OS X 10.3.2 to build an app.  If I run 
the app inside the development environment, or as a standalone Classic 
app, then it works fine.  However, if I run the OS X app built at the 
same time, then it fails to locate the support folder and files in the 
same folder as the app.

Any suggestions please, this was meant to be a "quick" rehosting as 
part of a general upgrade from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, but currently my 
client will have to run the app in Classic mode as the OS X version 
doesn't work!

Thanks
