I've been using the function below to establish the custom folder as the

put "sections/" into last item of thePath
return thePath
end resourcesPath
When building a standalone, I know the folder gets added to the
standalone's bundle. So I'm trying to figure out how to best place the
"sections" folder in relation to the app, and set the defaultFolder
appropriately, so that the images in the folder can be accessed reliably
from desktop, mobile simulator, and standalone.
On mobile, copied files and folders are placed in a virtual location
that need to be accessed using specialFolderPath("engine"). That will
point to the same (virtual) place as your resourcesPath function. So on
mobile, you need:
put specialFolderPath("engine") & "/sections/" into thePath
You'll need to branch the code for desktop and mobile, because on
desktop the special folder "engine" isn't the one where the stack lives.
Use the resourcesPath logic for desktop.
The virtualization of paths on mobile is due to the sandboxing
requirements on both iOS and Android.
