LispPad, cannot open file '...' about swift-lispkit

[objecthub]

LispPad is a sandboxed application and you cannot write files outside of the sandbox unless you (manually) authorize access. If you just want to create files, I would create them within the sandbox and then simply refer to them from Finder.

For instance, you can create a PDF file like this:

(pdfex1 "ex1.pdf")

The location of the generated file can be found using the function file-path:

(file-path "ex1.pdf")
→ "/Users/yourusername/Library/Containers/net.objecthub.LispPad/Data/ex1.pdf"

The only other alternative is currently to declare, e.g. your home directory, as a location for libraries via the Preferences (Environment tab). This will give you access to your full home directory bypassing the sandbox. This is obviously a hack. Finding a better solution is currently on my todo list.

Thanks!

Maybe the LispPad app could have a menu item that said something like "Open LispPad/Data in Finder"?

The latest version of LispPad has a means to declare a home folder outside of the sandbox. Also the mechanism to persist access to such a folder is working now. Thanks a lot for reporting this issue.
