The exec file appears on the desktop every time an update of Skydemon is installed. You can simply delete this file. Hide feature is working properly on my Mac. ‌No problem with french special characters like éçàè. I am unable to check last issue as I don't have a 5K screen.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 6	Hi I‌ could not use the zipped version on my MAC OSX version 10.1.6 El Capitan. The app does not start. Click on it - nothing happens. I‌ found a more natural way to run SkyDeamon on my MAC. I downloaded WineHQ from https://www.winehq.org/. Installed it according to instructions. Opened the 'Wine Devel.app'. This opens a terminal pre-configured to run *.exe files. I then downloaded the SkyDemon installer file which installs SkyDemon on Windows PCs. Execute the installer file from the 'Wine Dev.app' terminal window. SkyDemon will be installed in your home directory as .wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/SkyDemon.exe. Configure the finder such that 'SkyDemon.exe' is started by 'Wine Devel.app' and click on the file to start it. ‌Works perfect! All options from the windows version work like on a PC! cheers.....

That's basically what the zip file contains, albeit with a few other bits of tinkering such as support for Google Earth, opening PDF, etc (and based on Wineskin as opposed to WineHQ). The zip file was so that those with less technical experience didn't have to build it themselves (at least when it works)
