Future-Proofed a Little Further
May. 14th, 2024 05:46 pmMoving to an “Apple Silicon”-powered computer, I made some small effort to look for updates to applications I use to bring them up to “running natively.” One image browser didn’t require that search, if because I’d compiled an update myself. That program, called Xee, had a few tricks to its interface and features that had suited my own case only to sort of spoil me for moving on to anything else when its “current” version stopped being updated. After a while I had managed to turn up code for a previous version with some updates applied, but there’d been no downloadable version available. However, despite knowing next to nothing about “Mac programming” myself beyond crossing my fingers and starting Xcode’s build progress, that had been enough to produce a working version again. Noticing a different “fork” of the code with different updates a while later, I had even managed to copy enough revisions out of the first repository to produce a version that now said it was “Universal.”
