    Do you know: How to detect if a script is bundled

    Currently I have only one solution to find out from within code if it runs as tBasic-Script or bundled standalone-executeable:

    In case it's an executeable, thinCore-function App_Scriptname / App_Sourcename will return an empty string.

    
    
    ' ----------------------------------------------------------
    Function App_IsBundledExe() As Boolean
      ' returns TRUE if this program is an .exe 
      
      Function = ( APP_ScriptName = "" )
    
    End Function 
    
    ' ----------------------------------------------------------
    Function App_Title() As String        
      ' returns the name of this program
      
       Function = IIf$( APP_ScriptName = "" , APP_Name, APP_ScriptName )
    
    End Function
    ' ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    'test:
    
    If App_IsBundledExe Then
      MsgBox(0, "this is bundled version running " & $CRLF & APP_Title )
    Else
      MsgBox(0, "this is script-version running " & $CRLF & APP_Title )
    EndIf

    I think there are missing some Forum-sections as beta-testing and support

    I think that is a bug. They should return the correct name even if it is bundled. I will fix it.
    I will try to add a new App_ function able to return current running mode: open source code, obfuscated souce code, bundled executable code.

    too bad, i thought i've found a huge bag of wisdom...

    So you might delete this "Do you know..." and move the content to your to-do-list or support

    I've fixed this problem and developed 3 more functions.

    APP_IsBundled will return %TRUE/%FALSE if current script is executed from a bundled executable
    APP_IsIsolated will return %TRUE/%FALSE if current script is executed from a bundled executable and execution is taking place from an isolation path (currently always %TRUE but not sure for future option, maybe in future versions execution will take place 100% from memory and not from disk)
    APP_IsolationPath will return the full path where a bundled executable export bundled modules / dlls


    APP_Name function is now aware if script is executed from source code or from bundled executable
    APP_ScriptFullName function is now aware if script is executed from source code or from bundled executable

    Very shortly a 1.9.16 version to test.
