Re: [GNC] Just updated to MacOSX Catalina and GnuCash will not open.
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.

Re: [GNC] Just updated to MacOSX Catalina and GnuCash will not open.
Thanks John so they are but I think I'll just keep copying them over with the app as it's a lot easier than digging down about 5 sub directories :-) The dmg I have doesn't show them with .txt on the end of the file name or if they are I've turned it off somehow but they open up when you double click on them ok.

Re: [GNC] Just updated to MacOSX Catalina and GnuCash will not open.
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 Contents/Resources/share/doc/gnucash, though those aren't renamed for QuickLook.

[GNC] Just updated to MacOSX Catalina and GnuCash will not open.
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 starts the verification process that loads the disc image on the desktop, puts an icon in the taskbar and leads to the "do you really want to open it?" dialogue. Choosing "Open" closes the window and removes the icon from the taskbar. Only the disc icon is left which invites one to do it all again ad nauseam. Checking Help files, tutorials and various mailing lists has produced nothing useful. I've used Gnucash for years on Windows and Mac with no problems. This is so frustrating and time consuming that I'm thinking of going back to spreadsheets.
