This just goes to show that Apple really needs to solve their app installation problem.
I remember a time when "just move the app into the Applications folder" seemed really simple. Like Apple, I thought it was a fine idea.
We were wrong. Having to move the application in Applications turns out to be absolutely baffling to most users. (Including many people I am fond of, e.g. my dad.)
A lot of apps now offer to move themselves when first launched from the Dowloads or Desktop folder; the OS should handle this.
GPR itself still seems janky, but this would help (since apps in Applications don't get GPR'd).
