If one is running a standalone which has been placed in the Applications folder, then it is possible to start with specialFolderPath(“engine”) and work back to the Applications directory, but I suspect this is fraught with uncertainty. Has anyone a solution?

...
put specialfolderpath("apps") into tApplicationFolder
...
