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!

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

> 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>/.
In that case, a symlink would work nicely: 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.
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.
