Change it to..
set the defaultfolder to item 1 to -5 of the effective filename of this
stack

and it should work. I don't have an available mac to test though, so
tweakage might be necessary. (not likely though its pretty
straightforward)

You can put it in an if block if you want so that if the environment is
development you use the first method, else you use the second.

Its because of this...

*Cross-platform note:* On OS X systems, standalone applications are
stored as application bundles. A bundle behaves like a file but is
actually a folder, and the main stack of a standalone application is
inside this folder. The filename of stack property reports the location
of the application inside the bundle, not the bundle'slocation. For
example, if the bundle's file path is "/Volumes/Disk/MyApp.app/", the
filename of the application's main stack might be
"/Volumes/Disk/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp".

I am currently working on something that calls a lot of external images
which are stored
in a folder called "rez" in the same location as my stack, and when my
stack opens it
works its way through the script:

onpreOpenStack
     setitemDelto"/"
     setthedefaultFoldertoitem 1 to-2 of(theeffectivefileNameofthis stack)
     gotocard "TITLE"
endpreOpenStack

nothing particularly odd there.

each image has "rez/imagename.png"
  set as its source.

AND everything works in the stack.

So would be extremely grateful why, when a Mac standalone is placed in
exactly
the same relation to the "rez" folder it does not "pick up" the images.
