Yes - running for stacks dropped on it.

Sorry, no luck here. The analogous approach as in Windows would be to 
rename the "standalone" bundle with ".app", but that did not work or I 
could not achieve this, because the "app" does not show? I am using 
MacOS on a fairly regular basis, but lack the deeper insights of a Mac 
power user.
The "stub" approach of course works as any standalone can be used as a 
basic player for dropping stacks on it and - at the same time - 
providing access to its embedded resources (dialogs, icons etc) for the 
dropped stack. The only thing you have to care for with creating such a 
player is to keep the standalone stack as (visually) small as possible 
as you probably did with your stub.
