Why AVX2? #115

Closed Fred-IV closed 1 year ago

Fred-IV commented 1 year ago

Why require AVX2? Can't it be recompiled to not need it? This is the first app I have run into that says it's required, but why? Can it be fixed to run without it? Maybe just a compiler switch? If everyone else can get along without it, this simple, small program should be able to, and it shouldn't be that hard.

QuickLook Video requires a late-2013 Mac or newer, with AVX2 support The QuickLook and Spotlight plugins will crash!
