Message when access for assistive devices and applications is disabled

[lugolven]

Hi,

I am using a MacBook, Mac OS 10.10.

Steps to produce the situation :

• run Dahu with command line : java -jar Dahu-0.3.jar
• open a new project
• click on "Capture mode"

Then dahu stops and there is this message on my terminal :
There was a problem registering the native hook. Please enable access for assistive devices and applications to Dahu Editor.

I found on the web how to enable access for assistive devices and applications. But It would be helpful to give more information to the user, maybe add a link to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6026 ?

In adding, if the user starts Dahu directly by clicking on the jar, there is not message when the problem occurs. Dahu stops without any message.
I think a popup would be better instead of a message on the console.

Hi @lgolven thanks for pointing this out, indeed we must handle this situation for Mac users. If "access for assistive devices and applications" is not activated then we will popup some message asking the user to activate it.

As a hint for future seekers:
You can enable accessibility for your terminal (iTerm.app or Terminal.app) like this:
https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT202866
Then just launch Dahu from the terminal with java -jar Dahu-0.3.jar
