Hello Hussein, I used the version from the .dmg and can confirm it has the problem.
The reason why I tried the XSL utility is because I'm updating Conversa, a free UI for ditac, and run into a problem trying to use ditac from a notarized Mac app. Running from a script instead of double-clicking the icon works, but that somehow kills the idea of using a GUI instead of the command line. Additional testing reveal that the Conversa can read and write files on /Documents folder but only fails executing ditac there. Regards, Rodolfo -- Rodolfo M.

Yes.

Anyway thank you for taking the time to report this issue. Have you installed the .dmg distribution or just the .zip distribution? - If you have installed the .zip distribution, please consider installing the .dmg distribution (numerically signed; contains some permission requests in its Info.plist) because we are not 100% sure that this distribution still has this problem. - If you have installed the .dmg distribution, a workaround is described here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/known_problems.html#catalina_file_access -- XMLmind FO Converter Support List xfc-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xfc-support
