I've been doing some testing and haven't found a way to open the host app from the Share extension. There is an open(:url) method but I couldn't make it work with this extension.

Was that the idea, or am I missing something?

@AnderGoig we had a similar problem on iOS few years back. From what I remember, you had to climb the responder chain and stop once you got the host app. Not sure if it's gonna work on macOS, but worth a try.

I can do this if it is still relevant.

@Ybrin yes I think it's still relevant so go ahead 👍

Ok I got this but we need to discuss how exactly the process should behave.

Share extensions normally have a custom UI and don't really open the master app to process the shared item. There is a workaround I'm currently using in order to open Gifski and close the share extension immediately but it's more a hack...

How do you want to do this? Should I stick with the hack and just open Gifski with a url and let it handle the rest or should we handle this differently?

If we're going ahead with the "hack" I need to find a way to pass the video file over to Gifski. The url becomes invalid once the share extension is closed as it's not a url to the original location but rather to a tmp folder containing a symlink or something. I guess I will have to copy it over to somewhere and pass this url to Gifski or something. If you have any ideas or know what's happening here let me know please.

@Ybrin UserDefaults with custom suite name? I think this should work between extension & an app. If the hack is working properly, I wouldn't mind it (but leaving the decision to Sindre).

@Ybrin Could you use App Groups to copy the video into a shared container that Gifski can access? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/filemanager/1412643-containerurl

Another possibility it to just pass raw bytes into Gifski from the extension.
