It's the latter. 🙂
In post 23 of this thread, I mentioned that I had trouble getting the MacOS version of PSUD2 to recognize <control> + <click> as a right click event from the Operating system. However, I found that PSUD2 does recognize a "Secondary click" event with two fingers as a right click to reach the BLOCK submenu, so that you can INSERT and DELETE filter blocks.
You need to enable the "Secondary click" for your trackpad:
It appears that the MacOS version of PSUD2 does not recognize <control> + <click> as a "Secondary click" event from the operating system. Fortunately, PSUD2 does recognize a two-fingered click on the Macbook Pro trackpad as a "Secondary click" once you have enabled it.
Here is a link to the MacOS support note on this topic:

I have been using PSUD on a MacBookPro but it only runs out of the DMG disk image and doesn't install normally into the Applications folder. Fine to run that way but a friend just sent me a file to look at and it cannot be opened by PSUD as long as it's greyed out in the APP folder. . . . And yes, it stays greyed out after selecting "All Applications" on the "Open with" window. Also does not let me drag my friend's file into the examples folder.
(Incidentally, all saved circuits show in the examples file when entered from the PSUD's drop down "Open" menu but are not there when the examples folder is accessed through the DMG Disk Image "Show package Contents".)
Anybody know what to do with this?
Thanks

@Hearinspace,
How did you fix it? I’m having issues PSUD2 running on my MacBook Air (M1, 2020) under MacOS12. I downloaded build 77 also, but still could only run it from the download tray by clicking on the DMG image, after fixing the “cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.”
@offwego,
I have two-finger click enabled, but still get only the “edit” screen where I can change the value of the C, or R. I do not get a sub-menu that allows me to add components to the PS schematic.
When I try to change to a tube rectifier I get a long list of SS diodes, but no tube rectifiers. How do I insert one?
Any suggestions, anyone? I am a MacBook novice, so I’m probably missing something.

Okay, here's a stupid question: I'm having trouble navigating on the new PSUD II webpage and can't find build 77. I think I've checked every link on the Groups.IO website and have gotten nowhere. Can someone please educate this nitwit or post a link to the latest version available for a Mac?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I was looking for the download link a week or so ago and likewise couldn’t find it. Thank goodness we have LTSpice.
I had the same problem; spent several hours searching for it this morning.
You should be able to find the build77 file for MacOS here:
https://groups.io/g/duncanampspsud/files/psud2_macos
Good luck!

Francois, the difference might be your OS version, I don't know. I deleted the previous files from my machine and then ran the install. It seemed to work fine. I don't remember if I had to drag the icon to the applications folder.
One work around though is to open it and then take the option to keep the icon in the dock.

@Hearinspace,
Are you able to edit the topology (add more filter sections) to your PS in PSUD2 by doing a two-fingered click on the initial R or C in the schematic? I’m have not yet figured out how to do it on the Mac, although I remember doing it on Windows PC.

A two fingered tap on the trackpad? Yes.
To enable it go to Apple logo > System Preferences > Trackpad. (Assuming your OS version has it the same as mine.)

Thank you, but I've found my way to that page without any problem. What I can't find is a link to Build 77 (or any other downloads). In case it makes a difference, I long ago registered an account with Groups.IO. How do you navigate from that page to wherever the downloads are located?
Regards,
Scott
Scott, You probably found it via @Hearinspace’s pm, but if not it is the second choice on the page link I sent above. If you got to the Home page of groups.io you need to navigate to “Files”, i.e. select it from the list on the left.
Strange. Your menu column is missing most of its content. Did you try a copy and paste of > https://groups.io/g/duncanampspsud/files
?
?
I just joined the duncanampspsud group, and was able to download the build 77 file.
Then I moved psud2_build77 to my applications folder, trusted it, and seems to run fine.
