V 0.14 won't install on Sequoia (Intel Mac running OCLP)

Operating System and Version

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.8 on Intel Mac running OCLP

Distribution

DMG

Description

When opening the DMG I see the "not" symbol in the icon for Notepad.Next. Whether running from the .DMG or copying to the internal HD and attempting to run it, I get the message "You can't open the application "NotepadNext" because this application is not supported on this Mac"

This is a 2012 MacBook Pro running Sequoia via Open Core Legacy Patcher. If that's somehow the cause of the problem, so be it, but I will note that:

  • Version 0.13 and earlier versions still work on this Mac, and
  • I personally have never had an app that should run fail due to an OCLP incompatibility

Anyway, there's the report, thanks for your efforts and I'm happy to dig further if you tell me what you'd want me to check.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. On an older Intel Mac running Sequoia and OCLP...
  2. Download the .DMG for NotepadNext
  3. You'll see the icon with the "Not" symbol in it, indicating the application will not run
  4. Double click the app and you'll get the error message I noted above.
