How 'the filename' Works With Stacks and Standalones |
|
filename
of a stack
that is a standalone on Mac OS X with 2.4.3.
Since the application is built as a bundle on OS X, and the actual
stack is located in a physically different location (not at the place
in the hard drive heirarchy that it appears to be, but actually down
a few levels... right click on your built application and select
“Show Package Contents” to see what I mean), this means that the
fileName
of the stack will return something very different from what
you’d expect.
fileName
as a stack only:
/Macintosh HD/Applications/MetaCard/My Stack.mc
fileName
in a standalone:
/Macintosh HD/Applications/MetaCard/My Stack.app/Contents/MacOS/My Standalone
Something to take into account if you’re finding file names in
relation to the fileName of the stack... however, using the directory
that MetaCard defaults to will give you to the directory that
contains “My Stack.mc” and “My Stack.app”.
