One thing I found that is not right: I am setting the doubleClick action handler in code, but I forgot to also set the control's target property. Still, when I run the code in the debugger, the action handler gets called even without having assigned the target. So I wonder if that might be the cause of the issue. But if the responder chain was temporarily changed so that the action handler would get called on an object that doesn't implement the action, then I should get an exception about the missing selector (which is pathCellDoubleClicked: in my case), right? But that's not the case as far as I can tell, so I guess the unset target is not the cause here. Or am I wrong?

So now I see that there's a special DTK tag (Universal App Quick Start). But I can't add it now. This forum system is so confusing to me.

I am in the same boat with an app (Find Any File) that's finding files by name and other metadata properties.If the user wants to see all files that were changed in the past 2 minutes, for instance, I might stumble onto FDA-protected files such as those for the Calendar and Contacts apps.When I try to show them with FDA not granted to my app, macOS will ask the user for each of these folders whether it wants to allow my app to access them. And if later macOS versions protect more such folders, it'll get only worse. That's why I like to request FDA for my app. But to do that, I have to know whether it's already enabled, or I'd keep asking the user. Or, if the user already granted invidual access to Calendar earlier, my can't figure out whether it has FDA by trying to access the calendar (and even if, it would just bring up the prompt again, and my app won't be any wiser).The amount of support mails I keep getting recently (since 10.13 and later) is getting quite high, just because people can't understand or figure out why my app won't find stuff they clearly see with the Finder. It not only is a pain for me to handle but also adds frustrations to the Mac users in general. But I suspect you know that already, Q. 🙂 Just wanted to voice my frustration with the current state of all of this.Before 10.13, FAF was, for years, selling without hardly any effort. In the past 2 years, it's cost me a lot of time and nerves, and it's not looking to get any better, but rather worse. Same for my other product, iClip.Sigh.
