I came to this conclusion over a year ago and have had refactoring away from it
on the back burner. No longer. I went through my code and divorced myself from
this addictive coding habit.

Thanks for the info! I hope you solve the problem.

Thanks JB. Getting and setting the default folder was not the issue. The issue
is that in a wondows standalone, a stack in the same folder as the executable
could not be opened by script eg. open stack "Devices". This seems to be a new
development, as I am fairly certain this worked fine in the
Oh sweet thanks.

I am not using Windows or the version of Livecode you are
using so I am not testing this but when it comes to using
paths you might want to make sure what path is being
provided.
If the path returned includes a file name then it might
not work properly for listing that directory because it
is tryi
If you know the path you need then put this code in
your stack;
answer question effective filename of this stack
answer question defaultFolder
after creating the standalone run the code above from
the app and see if either of the paths provided are the
path you are actually trying to use.
Thanks for the confirmation Tom. I did see two places in my code that I have to
set the default folder, so I just reset it when I am done. Same thing, getting
list of files. There may have been some discussion in the past about a files
command where the path could be passed, but that's not close
I only use defaultfolder when I need to get a list of files in that
folder. Otherwise its the kind of thing that comes back to haunt us

Not sure. There have been threads in the past relating to the defaultFolder,
and how it can in certain cases cause other issues, so I think my strategy for
avoiding setting the defaultFolder is the way to go. I've been meaning to for a
while now. I just wanted to alert everyone in case they run
Would the stackfiles property help here?

Hi all.
I was given to understand that in a standalone, when I open another stack it by
default looks in the folder the executable is in first, and then in some other
places if it doesn't find it. This used to work and now does not. When for
