Hello everybody, Thanks Harban and Davide for the help.
Installing from MacPorts actually creates /opt/local/bin/frescobaldi, but also: jacquesmenu@macmini: /Applications/MacPorts > ls -sal total 24 0 drwxr-xr-x 10 jacquesmenu admin 320 May 5 10:00 . 0 drwxrwxr-x 61 root admin 1952 May 5 09:50 .. 24 -rw-r--r--@ 1 jacquesmenu admin 8196 May 5 16:22 .DS_Store 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 jacquesmenu admin 96 Apr 3 2021 FontForge.app 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 96 May 5 10:00 Frescobaldi.app 0 drwxr-xr-x 5 jacquesmenu admin 160 Nov 6 23:13 Python 2.7 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 128 Apr 2 15:00 Python 3.10 0 drwxr-xr-x 5 jacquesmenu admin 160 Nov 6 23:13 Python 3.8 0 drwxr-xr-x 5 jacquesmenu admin 160 Nov 6 23:13 Python 3.9 0 drwxr-xr-x 8 root admin 256 May 5 09:56 Qt5 I didn’t know that. Launching Frescobaldi.app from the Finder works as expected, with the Preferences menu item under Frescobaldi. There is a symptom that occurs sometimes with the 3.1.3 version: cliking on a menu header displays the menu’s contents, but hides it right away before any item can be clicked on. With 3.2, click followed by click-and-hold keeps the menu contents accessible so as to select an item.
