Dear Rachael,

is the problem still present? It's working on my system (10.12.6) with the latest binary. The name "applet" should be correct as it is specified like that in the file "/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Info.plist".

Thanks,
Sebastian

cc sschoeps, is this something that needs fixing in your app bundle?

The unpacked executable is named "applet" instead of "octave".
On Mac OS X version 10.11.6, the application will not launch unless the executable is named "octave".

Location in Applications folder is /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/MacOS
