Title: Unable to launch Scribus on Mac 10.15
Post by: balves on January 08, 2024, 09:50:07 PM
I downloaded and installed Scribus v. 1.6.1 for my iMac running OS 10.15.7. The Scribus icon appears with a large circle and slash through it. When I try to launch it, I get the message, "You can't use this version of the application 'Scribus.app' with this version of the macOS. You have macOS 10.15.7. The application requires macOS 12.0 or later." Thanks for any help!

well, my best suggestion is...  sound of trumpets and drum rolls... update your mac to 12.0 or later!

Perhaps you didn't understand my question. I am already on Mac OS 10.15.7, which, as far as I can tell, is later than 10.12.

i have no idea how numbers work in the mac world, but no, 10.15 is not bigger than 12 or 13...

and, yes, 10.15 would be bigger than 10.12 and 10.13, if that would matter.
