Hi xacto,

In your standalone you have the stack "HyperTest.livecode" in the ENGINE folder AND in the RESOURCES folder!
Not sure which one gets opened and saved, but that is the explanation for this behaviour! 8)

Be aware that this will not work for the "average" macOS user without ADMIN permissions, since he/she does not
have write permissions in the "Applications" folder!

What is the best way to test this... tried it on 4 different computers at the office and all works (all may have permission).
Also, would this method be an issue on windows as well?

open the app, change something, quit and then open the application package and check the modification dates of these two files.
The "youngest" is the winner! :D

Yes, if the "exe" and LC file will be copied or installed into "Program files (x86)" folder!
