Ha, I wish I had something to test this on. :-)
The newest macOS my ancient hardware can run is 12.7.6 - this requires
13. But I think the way to go for this is to drop support for running on
macOS versions that have been dropped from support by Apple.
Wait, WHAT???
Once you unpack this beauty and mount the DMG and look inside of
Subsurface.app, you will see this:
65M
Subsurface.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources
448M
Subsurface.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/A/QtWebEngineCore
I'm a fun loving guy and everything, but that's insane. We are not going to
bundle half a gigabyte of garbage in order to be able to show the user manual
inside the app (instead of just opening a browser that is installed on every
single Mac, ever). So yeah. No.
Sure, we can bundle the manual itself and have the browser open the local files
so things work offline, but this is just insane.
Ohmygawd - it looks like they are bundling an entire browser with this.
At a pinch we could probably include the PDF version of the manual in
the bundle, and then just use a system 'open' call for it...
