Thanks for that very interesting observation Jacque. Since reading your mail
I’ve been using this new arrangement, but I **think** I’ve just noticed that
specialFolderPath(“resources”)
generates a path with a “/“ at the end in a standalone, but omits the “/“ when
in the IDE. Maybe I’m just a bit tired - it’s late here. If it’s true though,
it must be a bug.
Someone might like to test this, or I will tomorrow.
