[Chimera-users] Chimera on macOS Catalina (10.15)

[Chiara Rapisarda]

Hi,

thank you so much for replying to my email. UCSF Chimera can access files in the Downloads folder (no options to click to access the Documents). I got a bug when opening the download folder so I sent it. ChimeraX works fine.
Best,
Chiara

If that is the issue you can fix it by looking at macOS system preferences, Security & Privacy, Files and Folders, where it lists which applications have permission to read your directories, and there are checkboxes to enable reading directories for each app and you can try enabling UCSF Chimera access there.
