Getting a Mac App Resources folder

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Getting a Mac App Resources folder

Hi all,
Still trying to get my head around mac. I have all my resources stored in App.app/Content/Resources/ and I'm using this to get that folder location:
AppResources:String=AppDir+"/"+StripDir(AppFile)+".app"+"/Contents/Resources/"


Only problem is that if someone renames the folder, then AppFile still returns the old app name and hence the path is invalid.

I've looked at bah.volumes but I can't see a way to get this path using that module.
Thanks for any help

With something like this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19889162/resources-folder-path-in-cocoa-app

Interestingly, appstub does something similar to determine whether the app is a gui app or not, and then throws away the results ;-)

Function getAppPath:String()
	?macos
	Local appName:String = ExtractDir(AppFile)
	Return appName + "/../Resources/data/"	
	?win32
	Return "data/"
	?
End Function

Thanks, I was being really dumb with that one :)
