| I've been told this : The game's data and other folders should be included within the app bundle itself; Mac users expect this sort of thing. How do I include the folders within the package and most importantly how do I access them? |

| App bundles on OSX are special kinds of folders. You can use Shell to acess them, and I'm sure there is some tools with xCode that can do so too. The Icon tool, let's you browse inside them and save icons there for instance. Not sure how you would do it in BlitzMax code though, maybe just like any other folder path. Just don't write to the data in the app bundle though. Save games and the like should be stored in the preferences for each user. Ragnar |
