I hadn't though of that but now I can see it would cause problems. In 
this method the "Your.app" part is actually hardcoded into the 
externals property. I think one cannot set the externals property at 
run-time in a handler, it's too late by then. No workarounds that I 
know of.

Oh wait... *I think* this will work: set the externals to just 
"revvideograbber.bundle" (no path). And put the revvideograbber.bundle 
into the folder Your.app/Contents/MacOS , right alongside the actual 
executable.
