You need to solve the ‘installation’ issue first. It should copy over and launch normally without bypassing GateKeeper. Not only will you have some issues opening your file, you may see some issues with Dock icons. There have been threads on both issues on this list. The app IS signed by a recognized developer. If GateKeeper is telling you it isn’t, you need to verify the app itself. Perhaps you have a corrupt download? Where did you get it from? (should have been GnuCash.org which sends you to SourceForge) Are you copying the app to /Applications or /user/your-user/Applications? (and *not* trying to run it from the dmg) Regards, Adrien > >> On 28 Aug 2018, at 17:06, Colin Law <clan...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> You should be able to use File > Open and browse to your accounts >> file, wherever you originally saved it. >> If you have lost that for some reason then hopefully you have a recent >> backup. >> >> Colin >> On Tue, 28 Aug 2018 at 06:31, Ian Lancaster <gcbb1...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> For years (2011?)
