Hi Pierre,
Are there any plans to migrate to Qt 6?

not yet, QT6 doesn't support Win7 & MacOS 10.12/13

maybe time has come?

- standard support of 5.15 ends 2023-05-26
- there are quite a lot qt related issues been reported on forum, maybe they are solved in newer version
- hope theme functionality will be improved
-- finally remove 'old dark' theme, all related files/folders as it is confusing a lot
-- maybe add user-customizable theme functionality
- market share of OS necro versions has dropped to minimum (eg win7 <4%)

ps: obs short discussion on the subject

yes, "better support for HiDPI and fractional scaling"

- market share of OS necro versions has dropped to minimum (eg win7 <4%)

Windows 8 & macOS 10.13 too

Users have quite recently still been requesting updated versions for Windows XP...

• macOS 10.13 support status by Apple
  Unsupported as of November 2020.[2] iTunes is no longer being updated, but is able to download driver updates to sync to newer devices.[3]
  Apple probably allows to upgrade for free, but I'm not sure.

• Windows 8
  not sure I've heard of cases where people wilingly sticked with win8 (which cannot be said about xp/win7)

I'm pretty sure these 1-5 users can happily use Classic version or current MP (that is stable enough) and do not hold the progress (similar to x86 lovers)


However, I'm unaware about any Pierre's liabilities to the payed users.
So I'm just patiently waiting for changes

XnViewMP v2.x is QT6
XnViewMP v1.x is QT5
XnView Classic is Pure C or Python, Boa, Cobra or IDK

Done, wasn't that hard!

Yes but maintenance & build will not be easy...
