PyInstaller 3.4does not forward OS events from macOS to the executable. Therefore no events will be received when the user is droping files to the dock icon.

You'll need to manually install a patched dev version of PyInstallerfrom Fix apple open document events
pip3 install git+https://github.com/cculianu/pyinstaller@fix_apple_open_document_events
Now add your absolute venv/pipenv site-packages path to Analysis/pathex list variable inside the tieflader_osx.spec file to make sure your local PyInstaller instance will find all the dependencies.
