What is this fixing or adding?
On macos, when kivy handles the GUI of the process, trying to instantiate tk will crash.
This spawns tk in multiprocessing for open_filename and open_directory if tk is required.
Fixes [Launcher] Open Patch button crashing (MacOS).
Note: even if we had plyer, there are edge cases that are not handled well by it, so the tk code is likely gonna stay. More on that in the linked discord thread.
