Hello Sveinbjorn,
I have been using your wonderful platypus software. I am working on a
cd-rom that has an Apache Tomcat on it. Users have to install it and
once it is up and running people can use my dynamic web application.
For mac users, I have found a way to bundle the whole startup shell
stuff in one nice Platypus app, so that users simply have to click the
app to start everything up.
Now when i create the app, it works like a charm. but then when I
compile my installer, and run that installer and start the app from the
directory it has been installed in, it never works, and i cant get it
to.
from your help file i have inserted the code to change the working
directory to the directory where the app is, so that shouldnt be the
problem.
the only thing i can imagine that might be causing this, is that maybe
when I create the app, the directory structure is hard coded into the
executable portion of the app, and doesn't work whenever it is
installed into another directory.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be and how to solve it?
thank you in advance
