On MacOS, manual selection/copy past of path of game folder does not work - only complete path to .app file works

On MacOS, manual selection/copy past of path of game folder does not work - only complete path to .app file works

I'm unsure if this is something I introduced inadvertantly or it was always like this. I suppose it was impossible to do before because you were unable to copy and paste the path - you had to use the file-chooser which stopped you from selecting the game folder instead of the game path.

eg this works: /Users/[USERNAME]/library/application support/steam/steamapps/common/Higurashi When They Cry/HigurashiEp01.app

this does not: /Users/[USERNAME]/library/application support/steam/steamapps/common/Higurashi When They Cry

Look at the file selection logic in the patcher's codebase, likely in a main application file or a platform-specific module for macOS. The issue is about path validation or handling for game folders versus .app files. Start by running the patcher on macOS and testing the two path formats to see where it fails. Check the error messages or logs to understand the validation step. The fix will involve adjusting the path parsing to accept directory paths that point to the game folder, not just the .app bundle.
