[Bug] Accessing external USB drive: "Failed to read this folder." #1369
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues (including the closed ones)
Description
On macOS (Sequoia) when I try to access external USB drive I get popup with "Failed to read this folder." (BrowseLocationThread#showFailedToReadFolderDialog, invoked from:
Some external drives work properly, but some cannot be read - most probably when a drive contains Time Machine backup (so far confirmed with 2 such drives).
Tried the most recent nightly builds, also built locally (dmg) - the same problem. However, when I ran ./gradlew run it worked properly.
I was able to fix the problem by allowing muCommander Full Disk Access via macOS System Settings. I had to add it manually and turn the access on. Did some research, and I guess we would need to inform user to add muC to FDA and eventually open System Settings (open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_AllFiles")?
Steps to reproduce
- attach USB external drive with Time Machine backup
- go to its folder
- popup appears with "Failed to read this folder.", nothing in logs
Expected behavior
Drive can be accessed.
Actual behavior
Drive cannot be accessed.
Screenshots?
