Decibel disappeared, not working

[sjc]

Yesterday I noticed that the Decibel icon in my dock (MacMini) has a ? on it and I cannot open the program. Not sure what has happened. I also couldn't find the program in my Applications folder. Is there a way to re-download the software?

Thank you,

If you purchased Decibel through the Mac App Store you can download it again using the Purchases tab. If you purchased it directly from my website you may download it from the home page http://sbooth.org/Decibel/

Thank you, I re-downloaded the program from your web site but the problem seems to still exist. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the download or "install" process. After double-clicking (installing) the Decibel program from the Downloads tab in Safari Decibel is not listed in the Applications or Utilities folder on my Mac Mini. If I clear the Downloads tab in Safari or the Downloads folder in Finder then the Decibel icon in the dock gets the "?" on it again and I cannot open or use the program. Shouldn't Decibel show up in the Applications folder and remain there after install? It seems that I keep deleting (uninstalling) the program when I clear out the downloads folder.

Also, I need to re-download the program again and would like to do it from the App Store if possible. Is there a way for me to do that without being charged again or since I originally bought it from your site do I need to download from there again?

I'm running OS X Mountain Lion on my 2011 Mac Mini.

Thank you for your assistance.

Double-clicking Decibel from Finder will launch it, but the app will remain in the same folder unless you physically drag it somewhere else. In order to install it, you'll have to drag it to your Applications folder manually.

There are provisions for the direct-download version to recognize a license from the Mac App Store, but the functionality doesn't work the other way around. So if you've originally purchased from my site you'll need to download it from there.

Thanks, dragging to Applications did the trick. I'm still getting used to the Mac OS way of doing things!

Did you buy Decibel through the MAS or via direct download? The direct download version is linked to on Decibel's page (http://sbooth.org/Decibel/) and the MAS version can be obtained by going to the Purchases tab of the App Store application.
