1.4.6 does run on Mojave. Maybe check your security settings or whatever (the warning will tell you), but it will work.

randyb describes in the forums how he managed to get scribus to work again:

[later comment: don't follow this advice: the next comment below has a better solution.]

"""
First, I had to add the following command line in Terminal: sudo spctl --master-disable. This gave me the option on the General tab of Security & Privacy to select "Anywhere" in the "Allow apps downloaded from: section. This option has been removed from the latest versions of MACOS.

Second, on the Privacy tab, I unchecked Scribus in the "Allow the apps below to control your computer".
"""

since he won't be the last one having this issue, it would be nice if we could have a check on this steps and -- maybe -- there is a way to do it, that does not rely on commands to be issued in the terminal...

the discussion with randyb in the forums has lead to the conclusion that not much has changed in the latest releases of os x:

if you have downloaded a new copy of scribus (or maybe also if you have updated your os x), the first time you will have to open scribus by right clicking (or ctrl-clicking) on the application icon, picking open and confirm that you really want to open scribus.

the solution above does work, but you should not do it.

i'm going to close this ticket.
