After I upgraded my late 2016 MacBook Pro to Catalina (macOS 10.15), I noticed that Window Snapping is no longer working on BTT 3.202. I upgraded to the BTT Alpha (3.204) and experienced the same behavior. Only after I removed BTT and reinstalled it was I able to get Window Snapping to work. HOWEVER - after restarting the BTT application, window snapping no longer functions again. So the scenario seems to be that after a clean install on Catalina, window snapping functions, but if you are to restart the BTT application, window snapping does not function. I can reproduce this consistently - any help would be much appreciated! ---

In general window snapping seems to be working fine. Certain window snapping features however seem to require screen recording permissions. See [macOS Catalina 10.15 - Compatibility Issues & Discussions](https://community.folivora.ai/t/macos-catalina-10-15-compatibility-issues-discussions/8814/109) (I'll probably release a new version which makes it easier to setup later today) ---

Hi Andreas! Window Snapping with other apps okay, but this application doesn't work for me: Pixelmator MacOS Catalina, 10.15 (19A583) BTT 3.204 (1380) ---

Success! Thank you for pointing this out. Adding BTT to allow for screen recording did the trick... ---

@TigerCat-hu have you also tried the screen recording permission workaround? ---

I meant the workaround described here [macOS Catalina 10.15 - Compatibility Issues & Discussions](https://community.folivora.ai/t/macos-catalina-10-15-compatibility-issues-discussions/8814/109) 🙂 sorry! Not an actual screen recording, I totally believe you that it's not working. ---

LOL, sorry! I looked but there is no Pixelmator in the topic. ---

BTT needs the screen recording permissions 🙂 Maybe wait for the update which should be ready in a few hours - it will make it clear. ---

I checked this. Only accessibility features are enabled. There is no checkbox for screen capture. ![Accessibility](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/2X/4/461c06917ac036584a7455f892c01397645c3436.png) ![Screencapture](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4cdc9a28a36ab4cc029a54ebba6afbf55c4f8027.png) ---

I updated BTT app, now works fine. Thank you! 🙂
