Q. What is the Security-scoped Bookmark(SSB)? And why I add the directory path?
A. Apple designated to create the Sandbox.app to developer. This is for the security to safe the App from outside. Developer must need to do a decode/encode a SSB, if access the media files from the App without of the user interaction.
You know the video editing is use a lot of media files. And the media files is in the a lot of directory and storage. So we had to designed Reference X to coped sandbox.app. That was to clear Apple Developer rule and can access to outside files.
But some file path is not recording SSB in fcpxml. So Reference X is must to encode SSB for user in side our App to access outside files.Reference X needs to specify the directory in the preferences to resolve the SSB and access the outside of the App.
