It's a security feature of OSX. I would love if Windows has an application sandbox too and show file extension by default. A bad program can destroy everything incl encrypting all your data.
- wlesieutre 11y agoI'm not saying the sandbox is a bad thing, and I definitely like it for just downloading and trying out software of questionable quality from companies that I've never heard of. But it has tradeoffs: https://panic.com/blog/coda-2-5-and-the-mac-app-store/ https://panic.com/blog/coda-2-5-and-the-mac-app-store/ https://panic.com/blog/coda-and-sandboxing/ https://panic.com/blog/coda-and-sandboxing/ If you wanted to (for example) distribute Sublime Text through the App Store, you'd run into the same sorts of problems. If it's a piece of software that I reasonably trust, do I want to make that trade? Eh. Maybe. Gain some protection against potential security bugs, lose some flexibility/productivity.
- ThomPete 11y agoIt's a security feature but also an innovation roadblock. I don't fault them for having security features it's how they are administered thats the major issue.
