  • Added Display "Open" Window and Display "Save" Window nodes (Thanks to @Bodysoulspirit for requesting this!)

• App
  • Added Keep System Awake node (Thanks to @Pianomatic for requesting this!)
  • Updated Launch App to support the new shadow-location for built-in apps in macOS 10.15+

• OSC

• Reduced startup time
