Interesting. The dmg shouldn’t matter as the app itself is signed with an Apple
Developer certificate. You can check that by running
codesign -vvd /Applications/Gnucash.app
which, if you’re using the latest Mac build, should return
Executable=/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash
Here is a bit more information. I looked directly at the dock plist
(com.apple.dock.plist). The entry for Gnucash looks very strange.
In the situation where the icon was created using "Keep In Dock" while Gnucash
is executing, after quitting Gnucash and examining the Dock plist the entry for
On this note,
Are you installing to “/Applications” or “/Users/your-user/Applications”?
Either should be fine, but if you do have some corruption in your user profile,
installing to /Applications might help.

It does happen when running from the dmg and then eject it, but the OP
specifically noted they were running it from Applications.

I have seen this behavior with gimp. I believe it happens because the
application is run from the dmg. If you copy it to applications or the
desktop from the dmg the problem might go away. I'm going to try this with
gimp too.

Try creating another user account on the Mac. Add GnuCash to dock and see if
the problem persists. It might be an issue with prefs files for your user

Yes, it certainly is annoying. As we speak, Gnucash has just got its grey

I don’t think a second executable is the issue. I frequently see this problem

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

point to?

Sorry to be unclear. I mean, when Gnucash opens (by double clicking the App,
not a data file), it is at the place I left off. 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

Nope I don't do that. The only time I ever even open the .dmg file is when I
download an update. I then drag the 2 Apps to the Applications folder
overwriting the existing ones. TBH I have never used the Finance Quote Update
app but copy it anyway.

My dock works, and has worked for a decade. Perhaps you are using GnuCash from
two places: Applications, and the dmg? I say this because the “?” could happen
after restart if the dock item were linked to a dmg file, and the dmg weren’t
reloaded on restart.
Similarly, a second dock item would
