Upgrade to build 4113 ask for Finder privs

#1

Hello, I am running 4107, when trying to do an upgrade to 4113, I think. The Finder presented a dialog saying that it was asking for additional permissions in the Finder. I have not found any information about this on your website or the forum. Could you please inform me as to what is being requested? There is always the possibility that your update process has been hacked, and the update is loading more than just your software. That is why I think it is essential that you clearly document any additional privileges that your software requires. Speaking as a mobile App developer, that is what we must always do.

When Sublime Text updates it moves the current version into the trash can and moves a newly downloaded version into the application directory. This unfortunately requires finder privileges.
