Or am I overseeing something obviously? Tiemo, On OS X looking for a stackfile relative to the location of the .app bundle will look inside the .app bundle, as you have seen. But if you dont try to find a stackfile relative to the .app, it will look first in the folder that contains the .app bundle. I think you can work around your problem by including this in the preOpenStack or openStack handler of the splash stack/app: if the environment is development then go stack item 1 to -2 of the effective filename of this stack & slash & mainStack.rev" else go stack mainStack.rev end if Why? Because once the stack is made into a standalone the defaultFolder becomes the folder containing the .app bundle. It should therefore work in both the Mac and Windows environments. I hope I understood your problem correctly.
