Problem with file path to folder for standalone app
Hello all,
I have a standalone in which I'm trying to open MIDI files based on user selections. I'm using the message
";
max sendapppath appPath"
to get the path for the app folder and then combining this with the relative file path. This works when I run the standalone on my own computer—the app path is correctly reported. (I've also unchecked "Search for Missing Files" in [standalone].) However, when I try this on another Mac, the reported app path is not correct—"Macintosh HD:/private/var/folders/t8/f1k8tcvj3wn_mfw5jm862mxc0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/597F2F58-B8EE-472D-8010-6DCAEB2A86C1/d/". I'm sure it's a simple confusion on my part, but I would really appreciate learning what the problem is.
Thanks!
if you read that path - it tells you that the app got translocated,
and is not run from original location.
You can google translocation to read a bit, but in simple words,
on Mac that your app was downloaded or copied to,
gatekeeper is enabled, and because your app is not signed it
got sent to quarantene.
there are many posts here in the forum dealing with it
and offering solutions
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
