Nice work! I'm impressed by the CPU footprint. Shouldn't be a surprise as it's all hardware now but still great to see this which makes me comfortable let it running along. Is there a way to change store path? Also I changed hot key twice and seems both keys are in effect now.

RE: Store Path. Unfortunately, no. In order to write outside of the app sandbox container, an entitlement has to be approved by Apple, and they only would only approve ~/Movies/<AppName>/. RE: Two Hot Keys. Ruh-Roh. Thanks for the bug report. I'll investigate. EDIT: Will be fixed in next update. :) As a quick workaround, just quit and relaunch RetroClip and the old hotkey will be unbound, leaving just your new one active.

In that case, a symlink would work nicely: https://tinyapps.org/blog/mac/200805230700_change_imovie_save_directory.html https://tinyapps.org/blog/mac/200805230700_change_imovie_sav...

  Did you consider making it available to a wider audience outside the app store, or do the economics just not work out? Curious to have an up-to-date analysis.

    I mean, everyone has the Mac App Store at this point, right? I think the drawbacks of the Mac App Store are obviously numerous and well documented around the web, but I'm not sure that lack of ubiquity is one of them.

  Can you not use Powerbox to allow the app to write to user-chosen folders outside of the app sandbox container? Or maybe that's the entitlement you mean and Apple wouldn't grant it? Anyway, cool app. Nice work and nice writeup! https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Security/Conceptual/AppSandboxDesignGuide/AppSandboxInDepth/AppSandboxInDepth.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011183-CH3-SW17 https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Se...

    Yeah, I guess I could use a security scoped bookmark. Might be worth adding.
