Standalones and the defaultFolder

[Bob Sneidar]

I came to this conclusion over a year ago and have had refactoring away from it on the back burner. No longer. I went through my code and divorced myself from this addictive coding habit.

There's 'specialFolderPath's for various places these days (most noticeable resources and engine); but you can also just grok the filename property of your mainstack too. (The stackFiles property can be useful here too - this allows mapping arbitrary stack names to filepaths, which if relative are relative to the stack on which the stackFiles property is set).
