File access on MacOS Catalina worse than upstream
I was trying to test out this branch. I couldn't access any files with it on MacOS Catalina. This seems related to the upstream problems, but worse, for some reason. In Upstream FC, I can't browse most directories, but I can open files if I can specify a full pathname.
What I already do every time I download FC: codesign --force --deep -s - FreeCAD.RT.20201230.app/
Launching this "resource" directly (from Finder) seems to access files fine: /FreeCAD.RT.20201230.app/Contents/Resources/bin/FreeCADLink
Based on my search of the internet, I found another application having the same issue and their solving it here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/commit/ccf650756bb86cb9e7bbec24500ec3e0c84b92ec The TL;DR version, shell scripts to launch the application in MacOS are apparently no longer in fashion.

My apologies; I just realized this is posted in the wrong repo when I couldn't find it. (But it's where I got the release files.) I also realized later that "launching from Finder" opened a terminal window too; much like some of the workarounds. I didn't notice it among my multiple terminal windows.
Sorry; I haven't tested it with a newer version since I originally reported it. Unless something has changed since: There is a real problem, and it seems to be different levels of symptoms with different builds, for some reason.
A lot of things have changed since the initial report, but the spirit of "worse than upstream" remains, albeit slightly. I downloaded the latest versions to check and found the below.
Note: I no longer run the codesign ... line.
RT FC Release:
- Open Document dialog box shows user home directory contents (/Users/
) - Open Document dialog does not show contents of user subdirectories: e.g. Documents, Downloads, Desktop
- I can not open a file in Open Document dialog even if I know its path and name. Once the full name is typed, the file shows up in the dialog, but on an attempt to open the error is "...ios_base::clear: unspecified iostream_category error"
- I can open the same file by drag-drop from Finder into Combo View Model tab.
- There is no prompt for app requesting access to folders at any time.
- The app does not show up in System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy -> Files and Folders
