Re: Error when accessing hidden internal resources after compilation

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

So when you run the project in the IDE the path "./" points to the project
dir.
when running the executable it points to the executable contents.
(and the hidden files are not included)

hope that makes sense.
