I am sure this is very easy but I can't seem to find an answer for it. How can I find my applications directory that it was launched from?



Something like [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent].  However, please do not misuse this.  In general we discourage placing resources, saved files, etc. in positions relative to the application's location.  In particular, you should not assume that you can write anywhere near there--the user may not have permissions to write there, or the application may be on a file server or a read-only disk.
