How to use external tool?

I want to create an external tool that launches when my project is compiled. However, it doesn't work when I add it to the "Configure Tools" dialog.
To test it, I created a program that just opens a message box.
When I click the tool in the "Tools" menu, it doesn't run.
Is there something special that needs to be done to make them work?

It works when I set "Commandline" to the exec file within the bundle, so thank you for that hint. I was using the .app because that's what the file selector would let me pick.
It does not work with double-quotes, but it does without.

You need the command line to point to the executable within the .app bundle.
