Designer V2 doesn't let me import photos saying "permission denied"

[Graphic74]

Hi,

since few days (not sure) designer doesnt let me import photos saying "permission denied" and has some permission problems on mac (Ventura). I got work done switching thru publisher and photos but it's a really bad situation atm. Not even sure if it's a Designer problem or a mac problem. Anyone is experiencing something similar or could point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders > Affinity Designer 2 or whatever app you want to change.

This isn't much help but here's Apple's page on it.

Thank you MikeTo, i already done that with no luck, at the moment im using the beta version in the hope apple or affinity will fix this, not sure where is the issue.

Serif will likely want to see a screenshot of that settings screen with the permissions visible. Could you share a screenshot with both the Designer 2 and Designer 2 beta permissions shown?
