Show warning to user if script outside ~/Downloads is opened due to sandbox limitations #311

In Mac App store, all apps have to be sandboxed meaning we can only get access to user selected files and files in the ~/Downloads folder.

Two solutions: 1) open all files by selection so that they are marked as user selected (but then dumps, log files etc won't work) 2) show warning to user informing them that they must run things in the downloads folder.
