Flashing bGeigie Nano v1.4.1

[Planetary Paul]

All,

I decided to upgrade my bGeigie Nano firmware to v1.4.1 today. Finally an excuse to use my FTDI-cable ;-).

I use a High Sierra iMac. Here is what I encountered.

The bGeigieNano_V1.4.1_uploader.app gave an error (no such directory) because I had put it in my [/Applications/Utilities/3rd Party Utilities] folder. Some path seems to be hard-coded. So I put it in the [/Applications] folder. Upon start no error this time, but also no "FLASH" button. The process ran all by itself to the end automatically and the app reported this:

The device rebooted and reported 1.4.1 as the firmware version. All went smooth and painless.
