How to reproduce

Hello, the profile validator crashes on OSX. It flashes for a sec in the dock and vanishes.

Further investigations, launching it in console, show it looks for the ../../../../../../../resources/profiles directory, and it clearly doesn't exist:

error:

➜  ~ /Applications/OrcaSlicer_profile_validator.app/Contents/MacOS/OrcaSlicer_profile_validator
[2025-08-23 18:51:50.860567] [0x000000020244a0c0] [trace]   Initializing StaticPrintConfigs
Error: ../../../../../../../resources/profiles is not a valid directory

strings dump:

Usage^@help,h^@help^@path,p^@../../../../../../../resources/profiles^@profile folder^@vendor,v^@^@Vendor name. Optional, all profiles present in the folder will be validated if not specified^@generate_presets,g^@Generate user presets for mock test^@log_level,l^@Log level. Optional, default is 2 (warning). Higher values produce more detailed logs.^@

It also substitutes the slicer in the default mime-types (i racking some messed up app id), so opening 3mfs or clicking on "open in slicer" links on websites and up in nothing

Actual results

The profile validator does not open
Opening a 3mf file doesn't work until the validator app is deleted
Opening "slicer links" on websites doesn't work until the validator app is deleted

Expected results

profile validar opens and works
3mf files open in the slicer
slicer links on websites open in slicer
