Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I installed an app as one user on OS X, and now I can't upgrade it as another. Is there any simple way to chown over all the application files to the new user? Also, if I delete the old user, what happens to the rights?
And why doesn't admin behave the way I want it to, which means absolute dominion over all?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

From the command-line, you can type "sudo chown -R ita:ita /Applications/Awesome.app"
There's also an interface to do this via the Finder's "Get Info" pane.

If you really want that, you can always enable the root account, which will give you such awesome power, and with it, the ability to seriously fuck up your computer.

sudo chown -R ita:ita /Applications/Awesome.app
Based on what happened when I clicked on uninstall (a partial list of folders came up) it's not all in one folder. Is Applications smart enough to find everything, even if I'm just operating from the command line? Or even from a Finder pane?

I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have to log out to upgrade a damned app. That's working against me.
Well, let me delete my test user and see what happens to access to its files.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
maybe you need to do a complete undelete for the app before you try to reinstall it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I stopped in my uninstall tracks because I didn't want to lose the application data (call logs and notes, primarily for my job search) right now and it wasn't clear where it was or what would happen to it.
I think I'm going to try the sudo chown fix since I can't find where in Finder I can reassign ownership from.
