We are pleased to announce the immediate release of ComboTIFF v1.0.5.

The is a compliance update for the Apple’s App Store Sandboxing requirement. Although, Apple’s dateline for the Sandboxing requirement is for the beginning of November 2011, we thought it would be best to get that out of the way so that we could actually look into enhancing the application further.

The only significant changes you would see is that the Save Settings option is now on the main screen and that you will need to specify the folder you want to save in each time you launch the app.

What Sandboxing does is that the App would now have to run in its own ecosystem which is distant from the other applications and would have no access to any files outside its ecosystem. This technically means that on its own, it cannot read any files or write any files. As an exception, the user would need to always tell the application which files it can access and where it can write too. This permission is lost each time you close the app or shut down the computer.

This will require us to do some major rewrite within the application to support this requirement.

We apologized if this may cause some inconvenience to you but we do not have much choice in this matter. The Sandboxing requirement is only applicable to OS X 10.7 Lion users.

This update is available on the App Store and if you do encounter any issues or have any suggestions to improve the application, please feel free to contact us at support@batchimage.com

Enjoy!
