Hi,
I recently downloaded the .dmg file for my OS.
I read the README and several other of the texts and not seeing any
reference installation on a Mac I double clicked on the GnuCash icon.
This verified the package and opened it where I was able to create a new
set of accounts.
I was puzzled as I had not seen anything about dragging and dropping the
executable into the Applications folder.
I carried on and made the Mac remember the icon in the task bar.
Each time I execute the app it verifies the package, asks me if I am
sure I want to open it as it was downloaded from a website. I confirm
and the accounts I created and saved are opened, thank goodness.
I did some Google work and found the GnuCash app does not open a window
showing a Mac user to drag the app into the Applications folder.
I ran the .dmg again and dragged the GnuCash icon to a Finder window
open on Applications.
My problem was solved.
Please add something into the README contents about installing on a Mac.
Thanks and good gnucashing
