The file could not be opened because permission was denied. Exposure X7 to Affinity Photo

[Sean Chandler]

This problem started happening today. I've made no updates to my Mac. I have not installed new fonts in over a year.

Both X7 and Affinity Photo have full disk access permissions in System Preferences.

From Exposure X7 if I right-click on ONE file and choose Edit In > Affinity Photo, I get the message "The file could not be opened because permission was denied."

If I try this with two or more files, it works fine. I'm baffled.

Well the macOS Monterey info screen tells me something slightly different here, since ...

Can you please post a screen shot of the Files and Folders settings as I have tried this with the latest version of Monterey and I am not getting any permission errors when I follow your workflow.

I mentioned fonts as I've seen other people point to newly installed fonts as a possible cause. I've been using X7 and AF with no issues (until yesterday) after installing Monterey.

I have noticed that if I chose more than one image and right-click Edit In > Affinity Photo - it works fine 

Attached is the screen shot of my Files and Folders settings

AFAI understood it, you activate the "Edit in" from inside of Exposure X7 here (?).  So if it doesn't work with just one selected image, but instead with multiple selected images, does the first selected image from a selected set then appear correctly too or is it omitted?

Also do you have some other possible app to choose for "Edit in", just in order to see if it is a general problem with transfering just one file here, in contrast to a bunch/set of files?

The first image appears - I get no error with more than one image 

I tried Open In with two other image editing apps and they worked fine - single and multiple images

Then it's probably an APh Monterey related problem and the devs have to look after that!
