Print Window Compatibility with macOS 10.15 Catalina


Please note macOS 10.15 Catalina makes some major changes to the macOS security model that, amongst other things, impacts how Print Window operates. Print Window 5.4.2 is not fully compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina. Although Print Window 5.4.2 will work to print file listings for most folders in the user's home folder (i.e. Documents, Pictures, etc.), it may not be able to access other folders on the startup drive, especially those that deal directly with the System itself.

When using Print Window 5.4.2 on macOS 10.15 Catalina, you may also be asked if you want to grant Print Window permission to access some folders, such as the Desktop folder. If you are asked this by macOS, you must grant this permission in order for Print Window to be able to see the files in the folder you are attempting to print a listing for. If you do not, Print Window will be unable to generate an accurate file listing.

We are currently working hard at a new version of Print Window that works within the macOS 10.15 Catalina security model. However, this work has taken much longer than anticipated. We will release an update to Print Window that will improve compatibility with macOS 10.15 Catalina in the near future. Until then, please understand that while the current version (5.4.2) will work, it may not work without compromises.The update to Print Window that will improve compatibility will be a free update for all users of Print Window 5.4.2.
