Ok, so when adding files in the ‘copy files’ pane I can only include files that
are in the same folder (on disk) as the stack file if I want them to end up in
the engine/home folder? I though assuming that the paths that are listed in the
‘Non-stack files in the application’ represent the location of the original
file but that when the standalone was built they are all be copied into the
same folder in the app? I thought I’d added externals this way in the past and
had them work for example.

or is there something that I’m missing?

That's expected behavior, the files function isn't recursive. By
default, it returns only files in the default folder but you can specify
a different folder by adding an optional folder parameter.
Over the years a few people have posted recursive directory walk
scripts, but since you already know the folders included in the
standalone it's probably easier to just ask for each listing
individually if there aren't too many.
