You can find a nice intro into file system rights here: https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials...rmissions/ + https://www.howtogeek.com/669095/how-to-...ns-on-mac/
In short:

a. rights are written down in four categories:
1. directory: in case it's a directory 'd' should be written here otherwise '-'
2. owner: what rights does the owner of the file have
3. group: what rights does the group of the file have
4. others: what rights do all others have

b. there are three right that can be give:
- read rights ®: allows to read the file
- write rights (w): allows to change/delete the file
- execute (x): allows to start the file (open a directory)

c. rights in a category (ignoring the directory category) are written as a number or a tripple.
When written as a tripple (three characters):
- the first is always 'r' or '-' to indicate whether the user has read access or not
- the second is always 'w' or '-' to indicate whether the user has write access or not
- the third is always 'x' or '-' to indicate whether the user has execute access or not
when written as a number, the number is the sum of the rights
r=4
w=2
x=1
no rights = 0

so:
0 6 5 5 = - rwx r-x r-x
means:
a. it's not a directory
b. owner has full rights
c. group has only read and execute
d. others have only read and execute



Rights on a file can be changed through finder somehow, but also through the command line using:

sudo chmod RIGHTS-NUMBERS PATH-TO-FILE

for example:

sudo chmod 0655 /Application/Hybrid.app/Content/MacOS/MP4Box

would change the rights of the file to 0655 (see above)

Also you can change the owner and the group associated with:

sudo chown owner:group PATH-TO-FILE

for example:

sudo chown selur:staff /Application/Hybrid.app/Content/MacOS/MP4Box

would set the owner to 'selur' and the group to 'staff'

usually you expect that the owner is the one that installs the tool and the group is the group the user belongs to.
Side note about groups on mac os:
There are four special groups on mac os:
a. root = root user
b. wheel = users that can use sudo
c. staff = normal 'registered users'
d. admin = users in the administrator group


----------

Hope this helps a bit to understand what is happening.
Depending on who the owner is and which group a file is associated with the rights need to be adjusted usually one uses.

So usually:
- all the applications in the MacOS folder should have 0655 as rights
so that the owner can change the application and others can read and execute the application
- all the python scripts should have 0611
so that the owner can change the script and others can only read the script

No error if i use same Hybrid version dragged and dropped without installer.

That is because when using drag&drop the owner (usually) is the one that drag&dropped the file.
When using the installer, the rights are set through the installer. (If the installer needs admin rights by default the owner should be root)
