I don't fully understand the question regarding the custom patches. If
your QTZ is NOT using any custom patches, then you can wrap it in an
app quite easily without writing any code
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/QuartzComposer/qc_play_ib/chapter_4_section_1.html#/
/apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001357-CH207-TPXREF101
if your QTZ DOES use a custom patch, then you have to write some code
to load and play the QTZ
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/QuartzComposer/qc_play_renderer/chapter_6_section_1.html#/
/apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001357-CH209-TPXREF101
and before loading the QTZ you need to use this
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/QCPlugIn_Class/Introduction/Introduction.html#/
/apple_ref/occ/clm/QCPlugIn/loadPlugInAtPath:
if you search the archives someone posted a nice code snippet which
searches the application bundle for plugins and loads them.
actually just found it in my flagged messages :P

I put my plugins in the app bundle's frameworks directory and load

for (NSString *path in pluginPaths)

}
}
return allWereLoaded;
}
I use the frameworks directory instead of the plugins directory to
avoid the Finder's plugin configuration UI. Check it out at
colordecoder.com.
There is one catch. Plugins with the same name in one of your
Library folders will load first and prevent the bundle's plugins
from loading. If they're the same, it'll be fine, but if they're
different, you'll have problems.

Hi... How would I go about making a Stand alone application from a
Quartz file? From what I've read you can use Xcode - are there some
online tutorials for this? Also will the stand alone apps work with
custom patches installed and can they run on PC's as well?
Thanks MArk
