".app" resource inclusion

[Barry Levine]

Alex,

A-ha! I think I understand. But that raises another point. My current 
app uses a folder named "resources" that sits at the same level as the 
finished application. I have some images and sounds in that folder 
referenced with pathnames. In my current app, for example, I have an 
image object with a filename of "resources/horse.jpg". Using the 
example you give (below), how would I set the filename during the 
development process when the app (and the path) doesn't exist yet? I 
can certainly re-code the Transcript where I set the pathnames but I 
guess I'm asking if there is one consistent methodology that would 
permit me to test everything without glomming everything together with 
a Distribution and tossing everything into the Resources folder inside 
the package.

Seems like there must be a "get" or "set" the defaultFolder to... 
command that would be necessary (and is probably obvious once it's 
pointed out to you). *grin*

Thanks,
Barry
