My patch finds and uses the contents of the folder its in. It finds it by sending |thispatcher| the ‘path’ message and passing the resulting path to a umenu with autopopulate enabled. Works great.

However, I need to make my patch into a standalone. Sending |thispatcher| the path message doesn’t seem to work within a standalone.

Any ideas of how to find the file path of the application folder of a standalone exe?

Thanks,
Christian

you have to use a max message in standalones:

;max sendapppath address

where ‘address’ is a receive object.
