Title: Helps with installing on Sonoma
Post by: hellolu on November 29, 2024, 02:00:06 AM
I've downloaded Scribus into my app folder but it won't install when I double click or right click. It just tells me to drag the dmg into the apps folder, but it's already there. Tried redownloading to desktop and dragging to apps folder, but no luck. Have googled for a solution and see that other people have had similar issues with different apps, and were advised to contact the developer. So here I am, hoping for a solution.

no, it's not the .dmg!
you should drag the 'scribus.app' to the applications folder!

...but it's strange anyway. scribus runs from everywhere. i can even start it from the .dmg. (just tested under mac os 15.1.1 – should work as well with sonoma...)
there are applications that won't run from other places than the applications folder (i.e. rawtherapee). but scribus is not one of them.
