FileBot

Greetings,

My macOS Monterey system seems not to remember my App Sandboxing settings for FileBot. Have the version of FileBot form the Mac app store. Folder Permissions Required pops up. Do give it the right permission to unlock the folder and it works. But after restarting the app FileBot asks for the same unlocking permission again.

Note this problem started after the Version 4.9.6 (9125) update. Before that things worked just fine. Did already do a uninstall and reinstall.

Any way to fix this?

Can you reproduce the issue with folders other than your Desktop folder? Is the Desktop folder in your $HOME or in the $HOME of another user?


EDIT:

FileBot log files sheds light on the issue... seems to be fundamentally broken due to dependency issues... unfortunately Apple App Store allow you to install specific versions, so you can't downgrade, so there's not much you can do on short notice, and dedicated update is require to fix this:

EDIT 2:

I've sent you a 1 year license for the non-App Store edition of FileBot that you can use in the meanwhile.

Thanks Works great with the one year licence you did send me. I am sure that will bridge me till a updated Mac app store version is there.

Fixed with FileBot 4.9.7 (r9130). Submitted to Apple Review already, so should appear in the updates within a week or so.
