XnView Software

Hello...

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.6 on the original Intel-based Macbook Pro 17"

By the way I am super excited about the standalone converter. Thank you!

I did run into a problem with the Mac version. I downloaded both XnConvert-mac.dmg and XnConvert-mac.tgz from the "XnConvert beta 0.95" announcement. The app contained inside either compressed file has a circle-slash through the icon, and will not run on my Intel-based Mac.

Upon running the app I get two popup error messages that say, "You can't open the application XnConvert-095 because it is not supported on this type of Mac." When I click OK on both popups they go away and the app never opens. I have attached the error, the Finder Get Info panel for XnConvert-095, and the "About this Mac" for my Mac.

Thanks,
Robert.

And are you able to use XnViewMP 0.35?

Hello...

Sorry for the delay. I've been out of pocket.

XnViewMP 0.35 does function on my Intel-based MBP 17". However, XnConvert 0.95 continues to refuse to load on my Mac--still reporting, "You can't open the application XnConvert-095 because it is not supported on this type of Mac."

Good news is, I just tried XnConvert 0.98, which loads well on my Mac. I look forward to taking a closer look at it in the coming days.

Thanks,
Robert.

Ok, 0.95 was 64bits, and 0.98 32bits...

Hello again!

A 64bit-only app hadn't occurred to me.

I usually right-click and app and choose Get Info to ascertain if a Mac OS app is PowerPC, Intel, or Universal. Upon reading your post, I realized I didn't know how to ascertain if a Mac OS app is 32, 64, or both 32 and 64-bits.

In the Mac OS System Profiler, Software, Applications and I can see that an app is PowerPC, Intel, or 64-bit Intel; however, if an app is 64-bit capable it cannot tell you if it is also 32-bit capable. I did find a command-line method of ascertaining an app's available architectures: i386, x86_64, ppc, and or ppc64.
I also found how to ascertain if I am using a 32-bit or 64-bit Kernel: i386 or x86_64.
From what I've read, however, Mac OS almost always boots with the 32-bit Kernel unless you press and hold the keys 6 and 4 during boot-up. And that may only work on newer Intel models.

Thanks!
Robert.
