Howdy,

I'm not sure the interface to those settings is any better than it was originally. When first introduced if you said NO to those requests you were never asked again and the only way to be able to set it was to remove the complete database and re-enter all the apps that needed it. So I say that if TeXShop asks for it accept it; you can uncheck the box once it's there.

Good Luck,
