Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for taking a look. I a big work crisis surprised me since my last email. 
I had hoped to work on this as well, but that will need to wait.

However, I do have time for testing.

The 4.3.0 version does not open for me. I'm on a borrowed Mac.  The bundle did 
verify and I went to System Preferences to bypass the security measures, but 
after that there was no response.

I am able to run the old 4.0.3 GUI version.
