!Help please! Problem to open any folder into RawTherapee

Hello everyone,

Today I rent a fotocamera in order to make a shooting at home for my new website.
I shot in Raw and this evening I realized that I have a problem with RawTherapee.
I cannot open any folder: when I’m into File Browser, recent folders, I cannot open anything. When I try to go to Preferences>File Broswer>Image Directory at startup and the I selected the folder I need, there is an error message: “Error opening directory: /Users/… Operation not permitted”.
From the software itself, it’s impossible to open anything.
When I open one picture from the Desktop (open with), I can open it into RawTherapee but only one by one so totally useless.
I’m using a Mac. I first downloaded the last version and then, the previous one just to make sure it wasn’t a bug due to the lasted version.

Please can anybody help me? I really don’t know what to do.

Many thanks in advance,
Charlie

Are you using macOS Catalina?

Hi @Charlie82 and welcome!

Those that are in the know probably would want more info from you, like From where did you fetch your RawTherapee?
Have you been able to use RawTherapee without problems before?

Hi Paperdigits and Claes,

Yes, I’m using Catalina since last August with no particular problem with other softwares.
I downloaded RawTherapee from the official website. I downloaded the software yesterday so I don’t have any experience in the past.
The strange thing is that from the folder itself, I can open the picture but not the all folder contents…
It seems that RawTherapee cannot get in contact with the content of my Mac for any reason.

Catalina comes with some new security features and the last release of RT was not able to incorporate the necessary changes.

@HIRAM is working on this, you can find a build that should work for you here: When Will RT Run on Mac OS 10.15.2 Catalina? - #53 by HIRAM

Hi!

I have a new problem with Rawtherapee. I cannot open it anymore: the message unexpected closure appear when I try to open the software. I deleted the app and re-install it again but that’s the same. When I install the version for Mac 64 bit, I have the problem described above and when I install the last one for Mac that Hiram shared with me the unexpected closure appear.
Can you help me? Do you have a new version for Mac ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.
Charlie
