Moho 3 Capturing Your Screen!

Post by opeth »

I have been using Moho for a long time and I have been using it with Macbook pro for about 1 year (macO Sequoia 15.0.1 latest version). For the last 1 -2 weeks. I have been getting the warning 'Moho 3 capturing your screen' that I uploaded in the image. However, I did not allow this in my system settings. How can this happen? Also, what does it mean that Moho is capturing my screen? I would appreciate if there is an administration that can give information about the subject.

(I am using the latest version of Moho 14.2 and since I also have previous Mohos, the last Moho version I used was automatically named Moho 3 by the macbook)

Hi. I need to confirm the details with engineers, so please don't take this as final word for now.
What I do know is that the latest versions of macOS are more detailed about the permissions they ask users for.
In the case of Moho, what happens is that the eyedropper needs to read the screen to pick the color of the pixel you select. This has always worked like this and the screen information is only used momentarily to read the pixel values. None of this operation is saved or sent to any server.

I hope this information helps.

Hi Victor, After you said that I paid attention and tried it and the warning comes between 5-10 seconds after I use the eyedropper as you said. It seems to be caused by that as you said. Of course, I didn't realize this because I was drawing in Moho all the time. I am now using macO Sequoia 15.0.1 (the previous version also had this warning). If you look at the image in my first post, I do not allow screen sharing for Moho and other applications. As you said, this warning seems to be through eyedropper.
