When I build my app it is automatically including all my image files in the mxf file. Normally this would be fine, but I need a 'skin' folder inside my app so that certain graphics can be replaced after the app has been built.

When I'm building the app I'm NOT including any files in the build script, not are they 'embedded in patcher', so I thought I could (and would have to) create a folder inside the 'Support' folder with all my images in. The mxf even seems to include images loaded in to LCD, which is pretty clever but I'm wondering how to override the cleverness!

Any help would be much appreciated,
Simon

unless you plan to switch themes from inside your app

- which would require you to really program the whole

picture loading stuff yourself - there should be a

i dont use max5 yet, but in max4 yu would just remove

the pictures from the search path during build process.

all objects pointing to files should now contain a 

relative path to the (missing) files in the search 

as inside maxmsp when pointing a file which has not

been present in search path during startup.

path of the custom max runtime app. 
it should now look for files at that path, just 
as inside maxmsp when pointing a file which has not
been present in search path during startup.
