Photo Mechanic Version 6.0, build 6784 running on MacOS Tahoe

Does Photo Mechanic Version 6.0, build 6784 run on MacOS Tahoe?

Unknown.  We don't test old builds like that.  The latest build 7285 of PM6 (https://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=16841.0) has some cosmetic issues on macOS Tahoe, specifically an issue when renaming thumbnails in the contact sheet.  You should be able to update to build 7285 with your existing PM6 license.

HTH,

I've been successfully running 6.0, build 7285 (fb3e520) on Tahoe (MB Air M4).  I received a system notification indicating the software may not work with future versions of OS upgrades as the install is an Intel based application, confirmed via Get Info for the application.   

My google search surfaced this blog article from Oct 2024 indicating Universal binary application support - https://home.camerabits.com/photo-mechanic-now-apple-silicon-native/

Can someone confirm if there is a Universal build for 7285 (which I believe is the last offical build for v6)?

As that link states, Photo Mechanic 6 is not being updated to be Apple Silicon Native. You'll need to upgrade to the new version of Photo Mechanic to run it natively on Apple Silicon machines. You can continue running Photo Mechanic 6 for as long as you have a compatible operating system.
