1.17.8 require disk access for every single rip, on macOS Sequoia

[T'hain Esh Kelch]

I rip directly to an external disk, and despite MakeMKV having permanent disk access in System Preferences -> Security -> Apps & Folders, it asks for access for every single disk I rip. Why is that?





And unrelated: For some reason the board doesn't reply, ie. I can't connect to it, if I try to create a topic with too long a name. Is there a string limit on topics that is not enforced in the UI? I had to give the post a very short title, and then edit it, in order for it to be correct. Tried multiple times with different titles. Edit2: It appears it is also happening with longer edits. The board is having issues!

I also had this today. I changed the option in Full Disk Access to allow MakeMKV permanent access to all folders. Rebooted the app and now it appears to be ok.

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately that didn't change anything for me.

MakeMKV is not code signed as per Apple specs, so if the app package changes at all, the next time you run it, it will ask for permissions again.

There is a reproducible fix discussed in this thread: viewtopic.php?p=156277#p156277

You can sign the app yourself, in Terminal:

Code: Select all

codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/MakeMKV.app

And then you can give it full disk access, and it should stick, at least until the next time the app is updated, when you'll have to sign it again.

Note: This will only work for the Mac that you signed it on -- you'll need to sign it individually on each Mac you use it on.

Thanks a lot!
