[MacOS] 5.27.0 update
I am trying to update from 5.18 to 5.27.0 and the update will not open. This is on a MacBook Air which I just updated to MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. I download calibre-5.27.0.dmg and moved the file to my desktop. After opening, it gives me a folder with a link to Applications and an icon for calibre, which I open. A "verifying" window pops up and then it puts a calibre-5.27.0 icon on the desktop. When I try to open that, the icon temporarily bounces in the tray and then vanishes. This is all done with calibre-5.18 closed and removed from the tray.
Calibre-5.18 will still open and nothing changed after a reboot. I also tried to drag the calibre-5.27.0 icon from the desktop to the Applications folder and it only gives me an "Alias" with 2kb. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how to rectify? Thanks |

Edit: Just tested this on Big Sur 11.6 on a virtual Mac. When I dropped calibre.app on the Applications link, I got a popup about an older item existing and chose Replace. After the 382MB copies, I clicked on calibre's icon in the dock and calibre 5.27 verified, asked me if I wanted to open it, I clicked on Open and calibre opened.
