Preview.app version 7 in macOS Sierra I have been using the Preview.app that comes with Mavericks until El Capitan. 

The reason that I have been copying that application instead of using the newer version is that it works better for my workflow and for a lot of other people, such as here, here, and here.

I have been copying the version on every system upgrade without any problems but it seems this can't be done with Sierra.



Is there a way I can get this app to run on newer macOS Sierra or some other clone of this app I can use?

Console.app show this error:

Application failed to launch (id = com.apple.Preview, version = 7.0 reason = kLSIncompatibleApplicationVersionErr)

Copy the old Preview and rename it (for example Preview_old), so you have two Previews in the Application folder. If the Preview_old gives the same failure and does not run, do the change as dante12 posted.
You have to change the GetInfo "open with" field to Preview_old for the relevant files.
