I downloaded the latest Sigil.app-2.3.0-1-Mac-arm64.txz on my MacBook Air M2. Double tapped and it unzipped ok. I tapped the app and it opened with Mac's warning about it being a file downloaded from the internet - clicked ok and Sigil opened with a new blank file - as expected.

I was surprised that it was just named Sigil.app. Previous versions contained the version number eg Sigil 2.1.0.app which was useful since I often end up with multiple versions on the Mac.

I then slid the Sigil.app into the applications folder and slid a copy into the dock. That's where my trouble started. Clicking on the icon in the dock appeared to do nothing. The same when I clicked on Sigil.app in the applications directory. Eventually, I noticed a Sigil entry all alone at the top of a new blank screen, next to the Apple logo. Clicking on that icon gave me an invite to open a file. Which I did and it opened correctly. I closed the file ok.

Thereafter, when I tap the icon in the Dock, Sigil opens correctly with a new blank file.

Odd behaviour but maybe it happens in a MacBook?
