XnView Software

Hi im mad, i downloaded xnviewmp for mac and it never opens no matter what i do, i just get an error message. someone know why it doesnt open ?

which MacOSX?

macos high sierra

please check this topic

oh , its a poorly maintained program. it only runs on unsupported macos, seems xnview development stopped on macos years ago

The versions listed above are the last versions of XnView MP that run on earlier macOS versions, development continues for later macOS versions...

really? link me to a version that works with my version of macos , and if it works ill change my mind

I'm not a macOS user, but the current XnView MP version 0.89 should run on High Sierra according to the linked post above...

Looks like a security issue from your screenshot, is there possibly an 'Advanced...' setting you can change?

Edit:

If you Google macos "identity of the developer" there are a number of links you might find helpful, for example this one:

App can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed

Try installing again and open the app by right click -> context menu -> open (to bypass gatekeeper) or try downloading from the Mac App Store https://itunes.apple.com/app/xnconvert/id436203431

Anyway, XnConvert works great!
As a bonus, I got XnView MP to work as well.

Thanks for your suggestion for downloading from the App store and trying it out!

This is what Apple says:

macOS Sierra: Open an app from an unidentified developer

there is an error with the cerficate i check...

i've fixed the problem on XnConvert app bundle, but currently i have always a problem with XnViewMP app bundle...

the signed problem is fixed for XnViewMP too
