Cannot Open / Save Files MacOs
Re: Cannot Open / Save Files MacOs
Had the same issue after the update. What worked for me was giving CloudCompare full disk access in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Restarted the app after that and it could open/save files again. Worth a shot.

Am I blind or in the wrong location. I can't find Preferences:OttoBot wrote: Wed Apr 16, 2025 11:07 pm In CloudCompare, you can find the display settings by following these steps:
Open CloudCompare.
Go to the top menu and click on Edit.
From the dropdown menu, select Preferences.

Edit: Found it in Display -> Display Settings. The non-native dialog does not show my external drive, however.
I also tried giving full disk access in System Settings > Privacy & Security, but when I add CloudCompare it does not appear on the list.
Re: Cannot Open / Save Files MacOs
I have the same problem, since the update I can't open or save anything.
I've managed to open files either by dragging directly or by deactivating ‘use native load/save dialogs’ in Display -> Display settings.
But I haven't managed to authorise access to the whole disk either, when I add cloudcompare to the list nothing happens.
Any idea where this might be coming from?

Re: Cannot Open / Save Files MacOs
I wasn't able to initially find this discussion,
I did find this in my console log every time I tried to do "File > Open" in Cloud Compare:
