budaloco Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Im getting this error on every file The file could not be opened because permission was denied. I try to open and I can't open or save any files on my hard drive. I've tried resetting PRAM, VRAM I've tried resetting permissions to the folder (via terminal and using Disk Utility and repairing disk permissions) I've tried modifying the permissions in the accessibility area to enable full disk access. I've checked the file / folder permissions in finder I'm losing my mind here. I don't know what I did to trigger this (except installing a bunch of fonts today). I could use it perfectly a couple of days ago. I'm an advanced OSX user and I've run out of options. Weird thing is that I CANT open them in affinity designer OR photo but I CAN open it on affinity publisher. My setup: Mac Osx Monterey 12.1 on an M1 Pro (MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021). I have dropbox running which has reported errors on OSX Monterey (maybe is that, but it's weird that only affected affinity products, I can open the same files (jpg or PNG) on photoshop and Illustrator) Cuando 1 Quote
Staff DWright Posted January 26, 2022 Staff Posted January 26, 2022 In the Files and Folders section of your Mac's Security & Privacy settings can you please check that Affinity Designer has been given permission to access the Downloads and Desktop folder locations Quote
budaloco Posted January 26, 2022 Author Posted January 26, 2022 Thanks for the quick reply. I've checked and they all have "full disk access" Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Where did you purchase Designer and Publisher, @budaloco? If one is from Serif directly, and one from the Mac App Store, then by "installing a bunch of fonts today" you may run into sandboxing restrictions imposed by MacOS on the application from the Mac App Store. In that case, you may need to uninstall the fonts, or use a font manager to control which ones are active.

The fonts were installed and activated via FontExplorer®. Do you think that installing and activating a large number of fonts is a problem that can restrict my App store version of those programs?
