Feature Request: Don't fuck over your Mac users

Post by AngryUser »

Hi,

Awesome software by the way.

Why do you insist on fucking over your Mac users? Every one else can directly download FileBot except Mac users. What are our options?

1. Buy Filebot from the Mac App Store and in line with their polices we get a bloated download containing the JRE even if we have a local copy (and I DID happily pay).

2. Fiddle around with homebrew which is a pain in the arse.

Prior to 4.6 us Mac users could still download but it looks like this has been stopped.

Just to reiterate, I have absolutely no problem with paying for this software (as I did already) but you've left your Mac users with two pretty bad options.

1.
JRE must be embedded as per Apple App Store rules...

2.
Matter of opinion. App Store is for GUI-only users. brew is for CLI users, since App Store doesn't allow that, hence installing from console via brew cask install filebot should be easy for folks that wanna get started with the CLI.

3.
Have you tried downloading FileBot_4.6-brew.tar.bz2? That's where brew gets the app package after all... Could have saved you some anger. ;)
