I downloaded Electrum Wallet on my Mac. Now I can't find the application to open it. I can search for and find the original "electrum-3.2.3.dmg" file. When I open it up, it opens a window with the Electrum Application icon, which I can then click to reach the wallet, but is this the usual route to get to my wallet each time? Can I not just put the Electrum application in a known location? If yes, how do I find it?
To make Electrum "install" on OSX, you need to drag and drop the Electrum icon from the ".dmg window" into your "Applications" folder...
Once that is done, you can safely "eject" the .dmg... and Electrum should still show in your Applications
Finally, after you have installed it... and have it running, you can right-click the icon in the dock... select "options" -> "keep in dock", that way the icon will always be shown, even if the app isn't running.
Refer to this short video (shows Firefox being installed from a .dmg):
