Select "Move substacks into individual stackfiles" from the Standalone Application Settings. Then you shouldn't need the clone command. I usually use a splashscreen stack that does no more than launch a substack, which is the main application. The substack is in a separate file, which makes it safe to edit as far as the OS is concerned.
So in the folder containing the main spash screen stack, when the user first installs this bundle of joy, they will have A) one App and one stack or B) they will have just one App and no loose stacks sitting around. Then when they launch the App, it will find 1) the App in the same folder or 2) it will save the stack off to the same folder, or 3) it will save it somewhere else and then save a preferences file someplace to tell it where it put the data stack? This extra data stack is I) your stack that has all the actual code in it that does what the App does or it II) just contains data and the splash screen App has the actual code in it?
