Important Warning
Do not run Nvu directly from the disk image (the *.dmg file you just opened) or you will experience a never-ending loop.
If you accidentally launched Nvu from the disk image on MacOS X, and you
now have a bouncing icon that won't go away. How do you stop it?
Use the Activity Monitor utility to kill the process:
Click the "face" icon in the Dock (typically the leftmost icon) to bring up a Finder window.
- Select "Applications" from the icon list in the left part of the window
- Open the directory "Utilities" in the right pane
- Launch the application "Activity Monitor"
- Select the Nvu process
- Use the "Quit Process" button in the upper left to kill it.
