Trusted Paths

Using Music Tag Editor as Rename tool can require to set access permission to paths when running sandboxed app under OSX.

Why we need trusted paths

Starting from OSX Lion applications run in the so called sandbox that is an isolated and secure environment.

Applications accessing to file system (reading file, listing a folder) need explicitly that user gives permission to application.

User gives his permission to access to a file (or folder) selecting it from a file panel or dragging path to application.

Music Tag Editor prompts a file panel when it can't access to a file due to permission error, after user selection the path is stored as trusted so next time it isn't necessary to re-prompt.

Use trusted paths

When rename files in Library, the app need to access the parent folder of file, it may failed to rename file when the app do not has permission to access the folder. Trusted paths resolve this problem, applications save files always on their own specific temporary folders.
