New(?) Idea for Standalones

[scott at elementarysoftware.com]

I may have described it incorrectly. After re-testing here on OS 11.2.3  I found that it required two tries. Trying to open it the first time meets with failure. But Right clicking and choosing “Open” the second time gives a second dialog that will allow it to open.

If it helps, I and probably others, would be willing to pay a reasonable fee for such gem. Otherwise, I and anyone else wanting to share stacks, will have to jump through the increasingly ridiculous hoops that Apple (and Windows?) place before us. OTH….
