Latest update will not run on macOS Catalina
Downloaded update today, 14 Nov 2019, and it will not launch on macOS Catalina. Instead, there is an error dialog:
"XnViewMP" can't be opened because apple cannot check it for malicious software.
The software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

Re: Latest update will not run on macOS Catalina
I have the same problem.
Re: Latest update will not run on macOS Catalina
And no, this problem did not occur with 0.93.1.
Unfortunately, this fatal problem could not be detected during beta test, because there was no beta version for macOS.

Could you try to re-download this package, and tell me if it works now?AndreasW wrote: Fri Nov 15, 2019 7:05 am And no, this problem did not occur with 0.93.1.

Re: Latest update will not run on macOS Catalina
I can confirm that this version still doesn't work in Catalina (10.15.1) for me. I still get the same error:
"“XnViewMP.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software."

J'ai le même problème et j'ai écrasé l'ancienne version, donc incapable d'utiliser le logiciel malheureusement. Comment faire ? D'avance mercirdinsdale wrote: Sat Nov 16, 2019 1:02 pmI can confirm that this version still doesn't work in Catalina (10.15.1) for me. I still get the same error:

Disponible encore ici XnView MP 0.93.1 ou à long terme ici Old_Versions ...

Re: Latest update will not run on macOS Catalina
Strange. For me, the problem is definitely fixed.
Re: Latest update will not run on macOS Catalina
It seems that Catalina quarantines the software, so even installing older versions gives the same error.
I got around it eventually by this method:
