macOS Catalina - Settings resetting after application restart #1423
Comments
So is it working again since you don't use iCloud? |
I tried the same thing with moving the Mackup folder into Documents. It looks like the problem here is the new limitations on folder access Apple put in place. See the Security & Privacy preference pane and the Full Disk Access and Files and Folders settings. If you add a misbehaving app to 'Full Disk Access' it should then work as expected. I'm guessing this is related to some use of specific APIs, because I've seen some apps automatically trigger the 'X would like to access the Documents folder' popup, while others just die ignominiously instead or fail to recognize they can't save files. |
Same issue here. Some apps don't work well with Full Disk Access, eg. iterm2, Dash, etc. And this also happing in the system setting. |
Thanks for this. I think this finally explains what's happening. I guess certain apps must be directly writing to their preferences and dont have permission to access where the symlink actually goes. I definitely hit this a ton with only some apps. |
Hey
Running the latest macOS Catalina beta. With Mackup enabled, settings for apps such as Bartender, iTerm2, and others are resetting when i close the applications and open them again.
Used Mackup for years, and never had this issue.
I did have to move away from the icloud storage adapter to a normal file_system one because of #1386, and i placed the mackup files in my Documents folder so they would continue t sync
