Problem solving:

• App does not work on Mac...
  1. Go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, then select Security and click Open Anyway for Scopes to enable launching unsigned app.
  2. Also enable screen recording permissions in System Settings, Privacy & Security, select Screen Recording, and add Scopes by clicking +Scopes3.
  3. If you want to run Scopes 3 multiplatform JAR, install OpenJDK 21 and enable Screen Recording permissions for Java. https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/#jdk-21-lts
• On MacOS Sequoia I cannot select Open Anyway...
  1. Go to terminal and execute command: sudo spctl --global-disable
  2. Install Scopes3.
  3. After installation, re-enable Gatekeeper with: sudo spctl --global-enable
  WARNING: This method temporarily allows the installation of applications from any source, so use it with caution.
• I bought the app but did not get a download link...
  1. You should receive a download link in a receipt on your e-mail used during the purchase.
  2. If you don't have the message, just send me a notice and I can resend the download link.
• I downloaded the Windows app and run the Setup, but the app is nowhere to be found...
  1. Scopes is actually a portable app and the installer just repacks the Scopes folder with the app.
  2. Go to the folder where you unpacked Scopes and right-click on the "Scopes3.exe".
  3. Click on "Send to>Desktop (shortcut)" to create a desktop shortcut for the app.
• When I launch the older Scopes 2 app, my desktop zooms in...
  1. On Windows right-click on "Scopes 2.exe" and select "Properties".
  2. Navigate to "Compatibility" tab and click "Change high DPI settings".
  3. Check "Replace scaling" at the bottom and choose "App" from the drop-down list.
  4. Click OK and you're done!
