"picts" isn't a standard place. Can you change this to
"pics"?

If you do, you can load images (e.g. tile.png) from this
directoryplace by using Icon("tile.png").

This is the "right way".

You can also use locate("appdata", "picts") to get the 
directory itself or use locate("appdata", "picts/tile.png")
to get the full path (including tile.png). 

This last one is preffered since you may have a picts
directory around which doesn't have any tile.png in it.

locateLocal() returns only directories/files to which
you can write. In your case you are not interested in
this.

Cheers,
Waldo
