I have downloaded the zip version of KeePass. To run it I have to open the Terminal, go to wherever I unzipped it and run mono KeePass.exe. Is there someway I can take all the files in that zip file and that command and bundle them up so I get a KeePass.app I can stick in my Applications folder that can more easily be run?

There is a Mac version of keepass you know. keepass.info/download.html – Chris Nava Apr 19 '10 at 14:04
@Chris: Hm... do you mean under Contributed/Unofficial KeePass Ports and Builds? Can only see one there and looks like it's based on version 1. Can version 1 work with files from version 2? – Svish Apr 19 '10 at 14:26
You are correct. I use 1.x files so they work everywhere. I think for 2.x files you need a 2.x version. (i.e. windows) – Chris Nava Apr 20 '10 at 4:39
@Chris: The 2.x version should work under Mono though. But it seems to crash on my Mac... Think I might be missing some UI libraries or something... – Svish Apr 20 '10 at 6:08
If you get it working please post details. I would love to upgrade ;-) – Chris Nava Apr 20 '10 at 14:04

You can write a bundled AppleScript application that includes all the necessary binaries in its Resources folder, or you might be able to use Platypus: http://www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus
