questions creating a standalone app
Hi,
I am trying export my patch as a stand alone app.
This is what i am doing:
open patch
go to file, build collective/application
and press build.
My questions are:
How can I include audio files in the application so they aren't missing when it opens?
How can I add an icon, so the app doesn't have that missing sign as it's icon?
thank you.

this was explained too many times here.
makes no sense to repeat it again and again

if you don't manage to include your files,
post again, but this time with infos about max version, OS etc
Hi,
Ok I am using Max 8 on a M2 Mac, running Ventura 13.2.1
I was able to include my files.
After I opened the patch I wanted to make into an App, I selected "Build Collective/ Application" in file,
Then a dialog box opened up which allowed me to add files and folders.
To add my own custom App Icon, after I made the app, I selected it and control clicked on it and went to "show contents" . I went into the "resources" folder and deleted the Max.icns and all the other .icns files I saw. I added my own custom .icns file with the logo i wanted and named it Max.icns.
It seemed to work for getting my own logo to be used the the App I made.
thanks. Nick
it is important to include standalone object in main patch and set it up properly.
from what needs to be included, overdrive, prefs name etc
