Title: Help: How can I see again my wallet icon on the desktop?
Post by: otaner24 on August 23, 2017, 09:16:25 AM
Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: Electrum-2.9.3

Operating System: OS X El Capitan 10.11.5

System Hardware Specs: 2,93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memoria: 4 GB DDR3 a 1067 MHz

Description of Problem:I installed my wallet and I had a fantastic icon on the desktop and it worked very well. Then I turned off the computer and when it was on again, I didn't have anymore the icon of Electrum (wallet). I have the files on the computer, but I don't have anymore the icon, so how can I open the wallet?

Did you download and run it off an external drive or USB drive?

I downloaded and run it on a computer connected on Internet. I didn't use any USB drive or other, the files are still on the Hard Disk.
I can see .electrum directory with all the files.

I only asked because I've had issues on MacOS before where it installed from an external device but as soon as I ejected the device, it "disappeared" :P

Other than that, no idea why it might of vanished... Did you just try reinstalling? Backup you wallet file to be safe, but it shouldn't overwrite it

I re-istalled and it works.  ::) However I'd like to understand why it disappeared... I'm trying to avoid to download it each time I need.
