I'm curious what you did that didn't work, as well as what you mean by "removed all references to earlier iterations." Would you elaborate? David On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 14:11, GJS wrote: On 22/10/2019 02:20, D wrote: > /Installation is covered in the wiki, and linked directly on > //ww

Dave, Showing the extensions (e.g. the .txt in foo.txt) is a preference in Finder's preferences on the Advanced tab. You don't need to double click a text file to read it, you can just select it and tap the space bar. That actually works for a surprising variety of file types, not just text.

You only need to copy Gnucash.app. The other files, README.txt, NEWS.txt, etc. are in the dmg and renamed with the .txt so you can easily read them with QuickLook. They're also inside Gnucash.app (control-click on Gnucash.app in Finder and select "Show package contents" from the context menu) at

Hi, You need to copy the GnuCash.app from the DMG to /Applications or ~/Applications and then run GnuCash from there. -derek On Mon, October 21, 2019 6:17 am, GJS wrote: > Hi, > I've run 2.6 on previous version of MacOSX but couldn't install 3.6. > Having updated to Catalina none of my 32 bit so

Hi, I've run 2.6 on previous version of MacOSX but couldn't install 3.6. Having updated to Catalina none of my 32 bit software works! Thanks Apple. Downloaded 3.7-1. Clicking the file opens a folder containing six files but not the usual File -> Applications facility. Clicking the Gnucash icon
