I installed today free version (1.1.2) today from App Store for the first time.
When I launch application, I see most of folders in panes are displayed as shortcuts. http://prntscr.com/bhh9jb
When I click on them, Finder 'Open...' dialog appears. The same situation with shortcuts. http://prntscr.com/bhh7g4
Also I cannot edit path line to change folder path manually.
All of these makes app useless. I guess there's something with filesystem access.
Macbook Air, El Capitan
No access to most of folders in free version [CLOSED]
Re: No access to most of folders in free version
Hello timprox and welcome to the forum!
MacAppStore requires that every app published there will be "sandboxed".
It mean that by default is has no access to any resources - in this case no access to filesystem outside it's private container.
(you can take a look at Wiki's article on sandboxing in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_( ... _security) )
Upon first startup Nimble Commander asks you to give an access to file system - that dialog looks exactly like a common "Open..." dialog.
(it will also ask upon any startup if no access was granted)
So you should just click "Open" in that dialog when Nimble Commander asks for it.
In general, you can clear your currently granted access by clicking Preferences->General->Granted filesystem access [Reset], restart the application, grant an access to a root folder (usually called Macintosh HD) and forget about this permissions stuff.
OR
If you don't want to bear all these MAS restrictions - you can download a standalone version from this website directly.
With regards,
Mike.
