Calibre on Mojave "would like to control this computer using accessibility features"

sparker · 10-09-2018, 10:46 PM

I've been using Calibre on a number of systems and computers, and just upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 10.14.

I've had Calibre running there for a few days, and just got a pop-up window titled "Accessibility Access (Events)" that says

Quote:

Calibre would like to control this computer using accessibility features.
Grant access to this application in Security & Privacy preferences, located in Systems Preferences.

Any idea what this means. I've never seen this kind of a warning before.

Thanks!

Steve

Qt, the toolkit calibre uses has accessibility features in it, probably comes from that. Feel free to decline the permission, as far as I know, calibre code itself does not use it for anything.
