Steps to reproduce
cd / /path/to/HelionOn macOS this also happens whenever Helion is launched from an

.appbundle(Finder/Launchpad), because the working directory is
/in that case.Result
Cause
PathsManager.StandardizePathdoesPath.GetFullPath(path).TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar)For
/this trims the whole string, so the launch folder becomes""GetArchiveFolderslater passes it throughStandardizePathagain, andPath.GetFullPath("")throwsWith this change Helion starts normally from
/and from an app bundle.Found while packaging Helion for nixpkgs (NixOS/nixpkgs#554503) and confirmed the crash is reproducible on both macOS and linux, works as expected after applying patch.
