It’s both a security feature and a functional feature. When one downloads an app there are various places it could start out (e.g., the canonical downloads folder or, if it were a dmg file, a temporary pseudo-drive.), but where it really belongs is the Applications folder. Usually with dmg files a good installer will pop up a little Finder window and a little graphic telling you to drag the app into the Application folder, with icons right there and an arrow showing you the direction of drag. If it’s a more barebones install, where you end up with the app in the downloads folder you *should* move it to the Applications folder. > On Jan 13, 2022, at 10:41 AM, Bill Troop <billtroop@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Thanks Ed !
