Bug Description
Current Dialog:
Due to Mac Sandboxing, we need your permission to access this file:
After clicking OK, you will see a file picker. To give Mixxx permission, you must select " to proceed. If you do not want to grant Mixxx acces click Cancel on the file picker. We're sory for this inconvenience.
To abort this action, press Cancel on the file dialog.
No | Yes
Thoughts
- is this about general access to the harddrive and the tracks? If yes, there is no need to reference a specific file, so this should be rephrased.
- if it is indeed about a specific file, that file should be shown
- OK and Cancel are not the options given in this dialog. So either the buttons need to be correctly named or the text needs to be re-written
- don't be sorry for this inconvenience - this is macOS defaults and every app accessing files shows such a dialog. By now users are familiar with this. Why should anybody be sorry for better privacy protection for users?
