Storyist trying to access my contacts upon exporting

[vkier]

Last night, as I was exporting my manuscript to RTF as my secondary backup, I received a popup window saying that Storyist was trying to access my contacts and did I want to allow this.

 

Why is Storyist interested in my contacts?

 

This is a brand new MacBook Air that I had just downloaded Storyist to. This was my first Storyist session on the new computer. I'm worried that either there's a bug or something else strange is going on behind the scenes here.

 

Thanks.

Hi Vanessa,

 

Nothing nefarious is going on here.

 

Storyist is just trying to look up your name to add it to the metadata as the author of the document.

 

Any time an app asks for access to your contacts, OS X will first ask you for permission.

 

You can tell it NO without hurting its feelings.

Thanks, Steve!

 

That's good to know. Was afraid my manuscript would end up secretly emailed to all of my contacts.
