MacOS binary opens in textedit

[thatnokiaguy]

Hi there, not sure if im missing something but the mac os binary always seems to open in text edit, which i dont quite get. running on Mojave.

(a screenshot of what happens for me, with an embarrasing "how to screenshot on mac" search because i dont have a mac keyboard and dont use mac all that much)

The file is an executable binary. You need to open the directory from a terminal and run

chmod +x lan-mouse-macos-intel

to give it execute permissions and then

./lan-mouse-macos-intel

to actually run it.

Ah, thanks for letting me know, I'll give that a shot when I get home! Jon Murphy
