The defaultFolder is set automatically. It's just that it's set to the folder containing the app running the current stack. So when you build a standalone, it's the folder with the standalone. When you're developing, it's the folder with Revolution in it. I just put all my resources into the folder with Rev while I'm developing and with the standalone when I deliver. Others put in a script similar to the one you posted to make the localFolder default to where the stack is.
