Settings are stored in works amazing 👍🏼

The about says version 0.0.1 for me for some reason?
And I don't find it in the Help -> About but Mac puts it automatically into the About Python. Seems to be a classical Mac thing again (just as quit)

Are you using and editable installation? Does it work after reinstalling the package?

For me (Ubuntu) it shows up as Help -> About. I am not familiar with how things are done on macos, whether it can or should be pushed into Help there.

on macOS quit, About and Preferences should always be on the Application menu (where for now it still says python but really should say the name of the application.

Thanks.

Now? (I don't have any macos.)

Version shows now correct for me. It is now called python3.12. I tried renaming it to PEtabGUI before as well with no success. I think this is fine, as it is a byproduct of this not being an official app (as far as I understood). Would be fine to merge.

@fbergmann Any ideas on how to change the application name on macos?

[dweindl]

Any idea whether this can be done for Python package entrypoints? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16427221/how-do-i-change-my-qt-app-name-on-the-mac-os-x-system-menu

(Without pyinstaller or the like)

@dweindl I've tried it on a mac now, and it does work, though it requires the pyobjc package, once installed it works with:

Cool, thanks. I added that. Someone please confirm that it works (including installing the dependencies).

[fbergmann]

@dweindl i can confirm that it does work on macos as expected
