I moved Impression after I launched it, and now during the backup/restore process it's filling up my log with indications that hfspax wasn't found.
In short: don't move Impression to a new folder while it's running. Impression keeps a copy of hfspax in its bundle, and it queries for the UNIX filepath to it at launch time. If Impression is moved to a new folder while running, it loses the ability to find hfspax until relaunched. This is attributable to the fact that Impression keeps all of its files inside the Application bundle instead of installing files to obscure, invisible UNIX directories all over your hard drive. Impression could query for the path to hfspax each time it accesses it, though the speed hit is enormous to simply protect against something that's easy to avoid in the first place.
