Thank you for the note.... that is complex code but should work. We will take a look at it and having rewritten the code in the Cloud AI version will see if we can back fix on the desktop.

That is a great suggestion... we are actively looking for community development to replace our current spreadsheet. It is a moderate sized effort but will be worth it.... Development community, this is a top priority. We need drag/drop and much more features like this suggestion in the spreadsheet.

ProjectLibre's new release only runs on the new macOS with M silicon. It does not run with the x86 older chips. Apple has discontinued support as well. If you need to run on an older Mac then go to Files here and download version 1.9.3. If you are on the M chip like the above messages... check if you have virus protection conflict or a network issue allowing.... you still do need to to to Security / Preferences and Allow the installation as it is downloaded from Sourceforge not their app store

That is odd.... we litterally have many thousands of successful installations on macOS with M silicon. There are multiple messages here... wondering if you have gone to Systems Preferences and allowed it to install.... or do you have virus software/network software causing a conflict?

I would suggest for now downloading the version 1.9.3 .deb You can find it in the Files folder here. The other workaround if you do want 1.9.8 : Download the tar.gz version of ProjectLibre instead of the .deb. Manually extract and run the executable from the terminal using java -jar. Ensure you have Java 11+ installed (openjdk-11-jre works well on Debian Bookworm).

TBD but good question... we are in touch with Apple who are heavy users internally. They had actually helped drive some of the development focus on 1.9.8. Here is a note on their focus.... Apple's stance on x86 chips for their Mac computers is clear: they are no longer the future. Apple has completed its transition to its own ARM-based "Apple Silicon" chips across its entire Mac lineup. Here's a breakdown of Apple's position and the timeline: Completed Transition: Apple transition from Intel x86...

The new release runs on Linux (.deb and .rpm) Windows and macOS Silicon chips. The new 1.9.8 only runs on Apple silicon not the x86 chips. You can go to Sourceforge and download 1.9.3 and it will run on the older x86 chips
