Questions: * When the user opens/drags a file to me application, is the explicit entitlement to read that file that I'm granted permanent? Will it remain across launch/reboots?
* How do I deal with files that I already have a reference to if I enable sandboxing in a future version? * What happens to my existing Application Support folder if I enable sandboxing in a future version? Background: I'm looking at what I'll need to do to sandbox some of my lesser apps (clearly Keyboard Maestro is impossible under sandboxing rules). One of my apps (Desktop Calendar Maker) keeps references (paths) to images. The paths are stored in the apps preferences file. The user gets the file references using either Open or Drag. So my application already exists and has references to images on the users harddisk. If I enable sandboxing, presumably I'm going to lose access to those files. I could potentially release an interim version that copies the files into my application support folder, but if I then enable sandboxing, I'll probably lose access to my existing application support folder (or is it moved/copied automatically?). This is quite a simple application, with minimal need to access stuff outside the sandbox, and yet I'm very confused as to how to enable sandboxing without losing the existing users data. Any advice on the best way forward would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peter. -- New release: Keyboard Maestro 5.0 with control flow, variables, calculations, macro library and more.
