[chimerax-users] Permission denied to "Spin Movie"

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Pam,
	To allow ChimeraX to access your desktop folder, open System Preferences and click on Security & Privacy.  From the list on the left, choose File and Folders.  Then ChimeraX should be listed among the applications on the right.  Make sure that Desktop Folder under ChimeraX is checked.  You may have to click the lock icon at the lower left of the panel to make changes.
