yes, everything you add to our app via the "Copy files" tab in the "Standalone Application Settings"
will be found in the runtime in  -> specialfolderpath("resources") on ANY platform!

Hint:
We are not allowed to write in that folder and even opening a database here is considered
"writing" and will fail.

So if you have a database (SQLite) file in your app, you need to copy it to the users DOCUMENTS
folder first and open it there!
