I'm still struggling with letting Inkscape (I think Gimp too) installed via MacPorts \
to be able to open files. I've searched the mailing list archive for the last year \
for any mention of this and found zip so apparently I'm particularly incompetent. \
Here's what I've tried.
Big Sur 11.6
MacPorts base 2.7.1
Just updated the tree and all anything listed as outdated.
inkscape-app @0.92_1, inkscape @0.92.5_9_x11, and xorg-server @1.20.11_1 installed \
and active r
In Apple -> System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Files and Folders I cannot \
do any thing even having unlocked with an admin password. In Apple -> System \
Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Full Disk Access I have given the following \
access the following: Inkscape (the terminal app found with Show Contents in the \
Inkscape.app file in my MacPorts folder) Xquartz
Terminal
X11.app
Inkscape.app (the Inkscape icon in the MacPorts folder)
I've shut down and restarted the computer and I'm still getting "Could not read the \
contents of Desktop" and a parallel complaint for Documents. I know that a dialog \
box should pop up asking for my permission to access my Desktop, Documents, etc. \
folder and that those dialogs not popping up is a known (and unfixible I think) \
issue. I thought granting full disk access was the only known work-around, but full \
disk access to what?
I have, by the way also tried the dmg from the Inkscape website for version 1.1.1. I \
don't get error messages with it, but it also can't open a file (spinning beachball \
of death). So that's not good either.
Thanks,
Lenore
