Nope the whole thing is a standalone, everything is included in the ".app"
folder, I use no external image or sources . Is just the typical mac app

This is not the first time, in the past also some people reported this
problem, I also tested it and experienced no such problem. I am still
curious why I do not have it and some of you do.
