Now I can use it the normal way, as an app that opens the Jupyter notebook interface in Safari, and of course I can newly create the desired symlinks to use sagetex from within TeXShop (without having to re-create them each time a new version of SageMath is released).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 14 Jun2020, at 7:49 AM, Herbert Schulz <<a href="mailto:herbs@wideopenwest.com" class="">herbs@wideopenwest.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On Jun 14, 2020, at 5:13 AM, Doris</blockquote></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""> via MacOSX-TeX <<a href="mailto:macosx-tex@email.esm.psu.edu" class="">macosx-tex@email.esm.psu.edu</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">Hi all,<br class=""><br class="">perhaps go to <a href="https://ask.sagemath.org/questions/" class="">https://ask.sagemath.org/questions/</a><br class=""></blockquote><br class="">When I searched for ``rename SageMath app'' I got one that mentioned TeXShop. The main point was that once you make the symlinks you can no longer move the SageMath app to a different location.
