In theory, it could be rewritten in C, but it wouldn’t be easy; since I wrote it a decade ago, I’d have to relearn the code myself. It’s conceptually simple, but you have to understand how malloc zones work, and that’s only documented in Apple’s source code. I ran into this yesterday with a new system that has 10.13 and Xcode 10 on it, and I’ll either drop 10.6 support or keep building TeX Live Utility with whatever older Xcode I have at home. I no longer have the time or energy to work around Apple’s SDK shortcomings, and replacing QTKit with AVFoundation was annoying enough. Since 10.6 hasn’t been updated since 2011, I don’t feel too bad about dropping support for it. I’m sure I’ll hear from the three people who still use it that their lives will be ruined if they have to keep using the prior version of my program along with an OS from a prior decade <eyeroll dot gif>. regards, Adam _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-develop mailing list Bibdesk-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-develop
