I haven’t tried moving something from the HD to Applications recently. It didn’t used to be a problem. If gnucash was running, I’d suspect the OS was complaining about moving something into a protected place at a bad time. Otherwise, I haven’t a clue. But next I’d try restarting the Mac and moving the app before its first launch after the restart. If that doesn’t work, then I’d go for dragging a new copy from the disk image to the Applications folder. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com
