Multiple users on OSX 10.8

Hi

I am using Serviio 1.1 on OSX 10.8 and noticed some strange behaviour. I have two users on the computer, A and B. When I install for user 'A' by moving serviio.app to the Applications folder and ctrl-clicking to enable the downloaded app to run - it only runs for THAT user. If I login as another user and try to run it, with the library being on a shared folder accessible to both users - it doesn't work. I've tried killing the serviio process when logged in as user B and restarting it - but still doesn't work.


In order to make it work for user B I need to delete the app from the Applications folder, login as user B and move it back, do the crtl-click to open and enable the app to load. But then it wont work when logged in as user A anymore. Has anyone seen behaviour like this on OSX ? Is it better just to run it as a service under OSX ?

Re: Multiple users on OSX 10.8

Select Serviio App > File > Get Info
Go to "Sharing & Permissions" and give "Read & Write" permissions for both users.
If you don't have both, add the missing user and give RW permission.
