    Why is it making network connections when I run it?

      Good to know. How do you test if a program makes network connections? Do you just open Wireshark and look at outgoing traffic?

      Did you check what the connections are about ? Maybe it is only checking for new updates ?

        It wanted to download a zip file. Apparently it was a theme. But, I’m not letting a local file manager talk to the internet randomly. If I want to update it, I’ll update it myself. Or, at least provide an option to enable it on first run.

        Uninstalled.
