Permissions Reset 2.0
Tuesday, April 13, 2021 - Sam Rowlands
After many delays, Permissions Reset is finally closer to being released. Today we announced beta 8.
I am still investigating if there is anything I can do about "com.apple.macl" and how to determine if the related settings of "com.apple.macl" are preventing changes from being made to that file/folder.
Permissions Reset can reset the owner, group, access permissions, Access Control Lists (ACLS), Extended Attributes (including Quarantine) to default settings, simply by dragging an app, folder or file into Permissions Reset, selecting what you'd like reset, then clicking on "Reset".
Permissions Reset uses the same permissions resetting engine as our premium post-build processor App Wrapper. Permissions Reset uses a prototype of our next generation file system cartographer, for more efficient scans of folders and apps, whilst setting the correct permissions for each file.
With Permissions Reset 2, we're also testing out some new tech.
- New animation techniques, from dropping items into the window to when it's working.
- New update system, which is designed to allow us to provide updates just for your Mac.
- New file system cartographer, which is much faster.
- Option to buy Ohanaware a cup of coffee, to keep me going while I work.
