Heads up: access issues #6

Closed pierrenaude closed 4 years ago

Hi,

First off thanks for this awesome piece of software. Really appreciate the work.

I just wanted to raise awareness of an issue I discovered while migrating from the original middleclick.

If you ran the original middleclick and then migrate to this version there may be an additional step required before it will work.

Symptoms: This version of middleclick runs and starts normally (assuming you added it to your startup items) but nothing happens when you tap/click.

You need to go to 'System Preferences' -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility and remove the access for the old middleclick. After a few moments this version of middleclick will then reprompt you to allow access, and when you allow it it will work.

I don't know if it is possible to remove the old access as part of the application?

Hi, @pierrenaude

Thanks, yet It's not mine, heh, I'm just maintaining it for now

Looked through all the forks, and no one has yet figured out how to make removing old version access possible as part of the new version. Maybe, Apple doesn't allow you to do this programmatically.

No problem - just wanted to put in on the record so other people would know. Maybe make a note on the README?

It's already in the end of the README

I'm an idiot - brain didn't connect Privacy and Accessibility control. :$ Sorry for the waste of time!
