running multiple instances of standalone with Max 7?

On versions of Max prior to 7, I could run multiple instances of a standalone by duplicating the app, then editing the name of the .mxf file within the app bundle/app folder to match the name of the duplicated instance (e.g. instead of "MyStandalone.mxf", "MyStandalone copy.mxf").

This no longer seems to work on Max 7 - on Mac anyway, renaming the executable in Contents/MacOS/ to match the name of the copied standalone doesn't work.

Anyone figured this out?

Scratch that - just answered my own question. You don't edit the executable at Contents/MacOS/ ; rather you still edit the .mxf file, which is now located in Contents/Resources/

Sorry for the noise!
