Hi all,
you might be interested in the solution of Peters icon problem!
Peters standalone was named "Combining HEF&CBHI.app" and compiled without problems.
BUT obviously OS X does NOT like a & in the name of an app/standalone!
Looks like the PLIST file does not get parsed completely, it gets stuck at the first appearance of the &,
which comes BEFORE the icon description in the file and so OS X does not know about the icon and
does not display it.
Stupid OS X!
Best
Klaus

Stupid OS X... maybe. Stupid Peter - more like.
I would like to say "I should have known" but I guess I will get to say that next time - if there is one.
Many thanks Klaus for helping me sort this out!
Peter

Hi,
Nor Peter neither OSX is stupid. The fault is in RunRev's (now LiveCode's) Standalone Builder. OSX really has not problem with whatever character you want to have in a file name, but the SB doesn't handle unicode properly when it created plist file, not to mention unicode file names.
Kind regards,
Mark
