No datas when bin is uploaded and then downloaded

Hey folks,

I was trying to send my app to someone by compressing the bin/ folder and upload it to Google Drive, but when it’s downloaded and uncompressed, the app cannot access the data folder (no images displayed).

• app is built with oF 0.9.8
• xcode and manual make produces the same, debug or release
• it’s sent from a macOS 10.13.x computer to another macOS 10.13.x computer
• I’ve tried zip and tar.gz, same issue.
• the app works as expected when builded and run on the my computer

The really weird thing is that it worked when the .app (as is) and the data/ (compressed) are downloaded separately and manually put together into a common directory. Same if I download the whole bin/ folder and manually move the twos into another folder …

Here’s an example app simply displaying an image, that I’ve gzipped and uploaded to Google Drive:

• https://drive.google.com/open?id=1355diiaVFDAARpcrHvV9wYZSuDF81pCi

Steps to reproduce:

• download the whole tar.gzarchive
• uncompress it, run the no-datasDebug.app and see no image
• create a new folder anywhere
• copy (or move) .app and data/ one at a time inside this new folder
• ¿ black magic does its tricks ?
• run the .app and see the image

One can easily get around this, with the steps I described, or by packaging the data inside the app contents (haven’t tested), but this is still some pretty weird thing happening here !

p.s: I haven’t tested with other platform.
