Intaglio is working again! I'm using Ventura 13.4.1 on my Mac mini (Apple M1)

I would like to reactivate this forum to learn why this app (one of my favorites) is working again. Also, if enough are interested, we can discuss what can be done to ensure this app keeps working long term.


Thanks,

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

Purgatory Design closed its doors in 2020. The principal engineer has not responded to Intaglio users requests since that time. Without the Intaglio software owner's consent and providing the source code in an open source capacity, there is no means to keep a compiled binary of Intaglio working indefinitely on macOS.


Replace Intaglio with modern software whose features and functionality are maintained to evolving releases of macOS, or keep an older Mac handy whose operating system Intaglio was then compatible.

It finally fails, sort of, under Sonoma :-( What happens is that the main window, and several of the inspectors, have an odd vignette around them. It's still possible to use it in a rather crippled way. At least you can do some limited editing and export, print, etc.


Eazydraw is the best alternative I've found so far. It imports Intaglio perfectly. While it's shortcut keys are different, it does have the ability to edit them. If someone wants them, email me (gwj at me dot com) and I can send you my Menu Keys and Quick Keys files, which you can import from the Eazydraw menu. Then it's pretty darned close for common things. Their support is good via email and they have a good manual etc. Also you can edit does on your iPhone and iPad, and it also runs under Windows. So that's where I've moved...


There are also some free viewers and editors for SVG files, a kind of XML, which is what Intaglio is based on.
