you still need to set the itemdelimiter for it to work Richmond, otherwise its not able to count items.
Also, I thought part of the issue was that you were referencing a folder that is NOT in the application bundle using the copy files pane of the standalone settings. This is why using specialfolderpath("resources") doesn't work. Since you said you placed the app bundle next to the folder in question, setting the itemdelimiter to "/" and then grabbing items 1 to -5 should solve the problem. (You had set the itemdel in your original example which is why I didn't bother to include it (or the rest of the handler.)
