Marty: Tried the development file structure that mimics the bundle structure (for development) and all the standalone builder does is put my Resources folder inside the Resources folder that is created for the bundle. There is a MacOS folder (Contents->MacOS)that contains only folders, no data. Then there is also, in the Resources folder created by the bundle, a folder named _MacOS(Contents->Resources-_MacOS), which contains my data folders with data.
To get the path containing the actual data, I have to specify the path to the data within the Contents->Resources-_MacOS folder. I’m missing something, probably so trivial that nobody thinks to tell me.
