Becomes default player for mp4 files

[eonist]

Quicktime should be the designated app to open .mp4. Manually setting gifski to open all mp4 is ok. Setting it by default on install, is a bit overreaching IMO.

Best gif app since Drop2Gif. Gave it 5 stars on the App Store. ✌️

This was fixed in Gifski 1.3.0 (Latest version on the App Store): a238e03

OK, I just downloaded the app 10 minutes ago. Maybe the Norwegian App Store is out of date or something. I tried to look for the bug in issue search but couldn't find it, so thought I would mention it. I have version Version 1.3.0 (5) And its the only version I have tried. Also the App Store says v 1.2.1 whatever that corresponds to.

Hmm...

Determines how Launch Services ranks this app among the apps that declare themselves editors or viewers of files of this type. The possible values are: Owner (this app is the primary creator of files of this type), Default (this app is an opener of files of this type; this value is also used if no rank is specified), Alternate (this app is a secondary viewer of files of this type), and None (this app is never selected to open files of this type, but it accepts drops of files of this type). Launch Services uses the value of LSHandlerRank to determine the app to use to open files of this type. The order of precedence is: Owner, Default, Alternate. This key is available in macOS 10.5 and later and iOS 3.0 and later. - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009249-101685-TPXREF107

I assumed Alternative would make it still prefer the system apps, but it seems that's not true. Setting it to None is not an option either as then Gifski doesn't show up in the "Open With" menu.

Ok, looking at other video conversion apps, it seems all of them declare themselves as a Viewer and not Editor, so I guess that's the issue.
