I don't even have the right language to explain this. The vast majority of applications get installed where LaunchPad can find them. But I have one app that LaunchPad doesn't see. This appears as something that looks like a disk drive on my desktop. I can click on the disk drive icon, and there's the app, and I can run it from there. Hopefully that description makes sense.
The main difference I saw when I installed it, was that MacOS told me it was from an untrusted source. I figured out how to run it anyway. It's KeyPassX, a well known key vault, so it's safe. It's approved by my company for installation. It just didn't come from the App Store.
So, why does it appear as disk drive on my desktop? Can I get it to work through LaunchPad like everything else? I've seen other apps behave this way, but I always deleted them because I didn't want anything that wasn't normal on this machine. But I really need KeePassX, so I'd like it to run the way other apps run. Make sense?
