Loading Extension Before Changing Directory Failed on macOS

See original GitHub issue

State which version are you using
- 0.14.7
State which OS version are you running with
- Mac OS X 10.11.3
Provide a reproducible case if possible
- Let chromium-args be --load-extension=./extensions/xxx.
- After copying stuff to XXX.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/, double click will simply fail with “Manifest file is missing or unreachable”, but cd XXX.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/ && ../../nwjs will work.
- I didn’t test which working directory was used when double click, but it wasn’t XXX.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/ when NW.js tried to load extensions.

Relates: evshiron/nwjs-builder-phoenix#59

Issues meet the checklist above will be processed before those don’t.

EDIT: The original path was wrong.

@rogerwang Is there anything we can do about this?

If you run nwjs.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs directly it works, but if you run the nwjs.app its context is wrong somehow and it won’t load the extension.

This is still an issue on nwjs-sdk-v0.48.4-win-x64.
