Glad to hear it!

I'm a bit behind on some other things I should have been doing, but this was a puzzle I wanted to solve. Marking student work is something I am all too eager to postpone...  ;D

The fix was to move the .qm files to a new folder in fet.app/Contents/share/fet/translations then to run ./macdeployqt (which doesn't complain when the translation files are in this new location).

@fjrump, can you check the file linked below? I think I've got everything working now.

New macOS FET 7.8.4

This will take a bit of work for me to figure out (something for next week, I'm afraid), but it looks like the issue concerns the language files for FET.

When running .macdeployqt (necessary to run FET on computers other than the one used to compile), if the language files are moved into place manually before .macdeployqt is run, an error message is thrown (this is something new with Qt 6.11), but if they are moved into place after .macdeployqt is run, you get a message about a damaged app when running from a downloaded file. You can manually copy the .qm translation files into place on your own machine, but it looks like I can't provide them in their usual location at the moment. (In fact, it looks like they really shouldn't be in the fet.app/Contents/MacOS folder as we have been doing, but this is something that needs looking into.)

Hmm... let me have another look.

Yes, something is wrong with the file - I'll compile and upload a new version in the next 10 min or so.
