"Sigil.app" cannot be opened...
Hello,

This is my first post and I apologize in advance if I'm asking something that's obvious - but I can't find an answer!

I've downloaded Sigil 1.8.0 to my new iMac M1 running Monterey 12.1 and decompressed the .txz. Clicking on the .app I get the following message:

Quote:
"Sigil.app" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.
Any thoughts on what next?

It is a known issue, and there is an easy fix for it.

Kevin's reply to me in this post will explain how to overcome the problem.

Yes indeed. Here is my reply to a similar bug report on our github site in case this helps explain why:
