![]() ![]() With the direct version, everything works as expected. Name Mangler 3 does the right thing when it sees a Spotlight Comment: it tries to save it during rename operations. If you use the Spotlight Comments field in a file's Get Info box in Finder, you need to be aware of an issue we discovered during development.(Note: To use Path Finder in Name Mangler, hold down the Option key while selecting the On Startup pop-up menu in Name Mangler's Preferences.) Due to sandboxing restrictions, we weren't able to include Path Finder support in the App Store version. If you use Path Finder, and want to use it with Name Mangler, you should purchase the direct version.In practice, the sandbox may decide to show it again at some point, for some unknown reason. In theory, this means you won't ever see the dialog again. Tip: To make this dialog box go away for good, try navigating to the root level of your hard drive in the approval dialog, then click the Unlock button. For instance, if you rename something in your Documents folder, then want to rename files in a folder in your Documents folder, you will not see the above dialog box. The exception to this rule is for folders within already-authorized folders. So the first time you use Name Mangler on any folder, you will see this dialog box (click for larger version). The rules of the sandbox require you to explicitly grant the App Store version of Name Mangler permission to modify your filenames.If we install it ourselves, we're not granted permission. ![]() (We show you how when you first choose the menu option, you just have to do the drag-to-install bit yourself.) This is an Apple rule that lets us do things with Finder-if the user installs the script, permission is granted. If you use the program's Populate With Finder Selection option, you'll need to manually install a script before this feature will work.We believe the sandbox's overhead is responsible, though that's just an educated guess. For example, one test renaming of 5,000 files took 4.8 seconds in the direct version, and 6.0 seconds in the App Store version. The App Store version is marginally slower at renaming lots of files than is the direct version.App Store buyers will have only a short window of time for their "upgrade" pricing. Also, you'll be able to upgrade to future major versions at a reduced cost, for an extended period of time. We keep track of all license files, for instance, and can provide them upon request. If you purchase the direct version, more of your sales dollar goes to Many Tricks, and we get to know who you are. ![]()
