hello! Well, my computer is not capable of opening this app, and i would love be able to use the app anyway. So, please, would you (all) be able to create a 32-bit version to weak systems?

I'm assuming your system is 32-bit, did the 32-bit build for v0.6.2 work for you?

I had ended support for 32-bit since Qt 6 does not provide pre-built 32-bit libraries at this time, and also because most OSes have dropped support for 32-bit.

Continuing to support 32-bit would require the build system to acquire and build Qt that targets 32-bit architecture. Qt source is very large and compiling it takes a long time depending on the host system, so it is preferable to use the pre-built ones.

Although on the other hand, compiling Qt ourselves would allow us to do static linking which has the benefit of being easier to deploy, and in some cases the resulting executable may be much smaller than using shared libraries when utilizing link time optimization.
