Hi!
May I join this plea and kindly ask to bring back support for macOS 11 and 12 in Calibre 7?
I'm able to run Calibre 7 on MacOS 12.7.3 Monterey by running calibre from terminal. I don't experience any issues at all.
Code:
calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre
However changing 'LSMinimumSystemVersion' in app's 'Info.plist' won't allow to run calibre from Finder. Looks like it needs to be recompiled with XCode with a different tag ('-mmacosx-version-min=11.0.0' I presume).
App contents show that calibre 7 uses Qt 6.5. Qt's manual says that version 6.5 LTS supports macOS 11 and newer (
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.5/macos.html).
There should be no issues with drawing the line from macOS 11 and up instead of 13. Maybe you could build a beta for us to test?
