Steps To Reproduce:	! Download and double-click the DMG (treated as an "installer" for purposes of selecting the bug component here, even though it strictly isn't an installer). 2 The instructions in the DMG window say "Drag the Audacity folder to the Applications shortcut" despite there is no folder now that the contents are bundled in the app.

Comment 1 Steve Daulton 2019-02-08 09:20:05 UTC

Not sure when this was fixed, but it is indeed fixed.
The message now says:
"Drag the Audacity.app icon to the Application shortcut", which is correct.
Thanks to Will Held for spotting this.

It looks like I fixed that, Feb 19th 2017 with this commit:

A subsequent commit by Pokechu updated the Audacity logo.
