    Is their site down? Just checked with Down for Everyone or Just Me, and it looks like that I'm not the only one.

    Edit some hours later:
    It is online again.

    PS for those interested:
    There is a thread in the MAC subforum at the BC forum about this issue, it's two pages long:
    https://forum.scootersoftware.com/f.../mac/87454-bcomp-malfunctioning-on-macos-12-3

    Several posters have already confirmed that this update indeed fixes it.

    Yes, I am. I'm a paying user, for years. Although I use an older version and I use only about 10 % of what the program can really do. I could upgrade to the latest version (I have a paid license for it). If and when I want, I might upgrade. But so far I'm happy with it.

    FWIW, the app appears to be both highly rated and popular over there @ Softpedia.

    Seems every software of these various types seemingly insignificant of any real serious concerns are lately getting security upgrades more often.

    I used it years ago and every once in a while enjoy importing registry backups and make BeyondCompare side by side comparisons then save the results for deeper observations. Time consuming effort but it's another alternative used here. Frankly it's useful for the more technically inclined or simple other comparisons depending on which extensions/logs are involved.
