to answer my own request, I found this link: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/320682/ownership-of-the-config-folder-in-home-directory
But I still have the same question, how do other brew installed apps then manage to work fine?
after changing the owner of the .config folder, I removed and re-installed via brew the cherrytree app. Now no warnings anymore when starting via the CLI. But still no link in the Launchpad. I created an Automator script in the Applications folder, which kind of works, but I don't think that's the official way to get it working?
When installing the program, no symlink is made to the Applications folder, so it can only be started via CLI
The Homebrew formula only provides an unbundled version of CherryTree. If you prefer to have an app, you can give this a try: https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/cherrytree_macos/-/releases

thanks, that did the trick. Very nice, painless install and working fine. @giuspen Maybe worth mentioning this release also on the original release page, maybe with a disclaimer that you didn't built it yourself, support only by the app provider etc ...
Thanks both for putting all the effort into it!
Hi @netweaver1970 the release installer from @dehesselle for mac is the very first in the list of packages advertised for mac os just after the apple icon https://www.giuspen.net/cherrytree/#downl I'm not sure where else you advise to link it

Ah, I must have been blind and stupid at the same time π sometimes it happens... Luckily not too often.
Probably this whole Mac thing was troubling my vision.
Thanks.
No worries @netweaver1970 I will advertise also in the GitHub cherrytree readme anyway π

Describe the bug
When installing the program, no symlink is made to the Applications folder, so it can only be started via CLI
When starting via command line, I'm getting file creation/authorization related warnings
it seems all related to the inability to write to the .config folder. I see that one is indeed very restricted, probably for very good reason:
I could start changing ownership, adding extra rights to group, etc... but I do can install and run other apps via brew, such as KeepassXC, without problems or unix level rights adjustments. So things must be possible in this restrictive context. And I don't want to run cherrytree with sudo.
Any solution/advice? I'm rather new to the MacOS ecosystem, so forgive me if there's something 'standard' I'm forgetting.
