[GNC] Dock Icon on Mac

[John Ralls]

Glen,

One thing you haven’t mentioned yet is what version of GnuCash you’re running.

When the GnuCash icon gets turned into a question mark or is greyed out, is Options>Show in Finder available from the context menu? If it is, what does it point to?

Check to make sure that you have only one Gnucash.app installed by running 
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -dump | grep Gnucash.app

from the terminal prompt (Terminal is in /Applications/Utilities).

Regards,
John Ralls

It sounds from the replies like this is normal behaviour and that Gnucash doesn't particularly care where the file is located (In my case \Users\username\Documents\Accounts)
