This is because the current working directory is different when an
application is launched through Finder (vs. Xcode or the terminal).
You can check the current working directory with NSFileManager's
-currentDirectoryPath; Xcode sets this to the directory your
application bundle is in, Finder sets it to "/".
I'd recommend using NSBundle to figure out where your application, and
use the NSString path manipulation methods:
[[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename]
