Thanks for the quick response! However, there's some strange behaviour: I have to select my folders again before I see the diffs in VisualDiffer. Reproduction steps: - select two different folders in Finder - select 'compare with VisualDiffer' in context menu - VisualDiffer opens, but.. - a Finder-popup opens in VisualDiffer with title "Left Folder Not Accessible" - My folder is pre-selected in the Finder-tree so I click 'open' - then another Finder-popup opens in VisualDiffer with title "Right Folder Not Accessible" - My 'right' folder is pre-selected in the Finder-tree as well so I click 'open' After these steps, I see the folder-diff. Additional: this only seems a problem when opening folders for diffing for the first time. When the exact folders are chosen again, VisualDIff opens without the popups. |

This very bad behavior is due to the Apple sandbox restrictions, the only solution consists to add a very "high" path as trusted path in VisualDiffer. For "high" path I mean "/" or "/home" depending of the files you want to consider trusted. You can simply open VisualDiffer preferences and add "/" as trusted path, you can also drag a path on trusted path list. You can find more details about Trusted Paths in VisualDiffer here http://wiki.visualdiffer.com/index.php/Trusted_Paths Please apologize for this insane behavior but the best I can do with sandbox is this. For any problem, I'm here :) |
