That sounds like the normal macOS sandbox behavior. There is a whole process around "acquiring privileges to open a file" when running a Mac App Store app that do not apply to non-Mac App Store apps. In the Mac App Store, the only way LibreOffice can open a file is if the file has previously been opened via an Open or Save dialog or buy opening by double-clicking or dragging the file from the Finder. Otherwise, opening the file will fail. In the macOS sandbox, these "open file" permissions are temporary and are lost if they are not cached. Even if the previous permissions are cached, you have to reestablish the previous permissions *before* you try to open the file. And reestablishing previous permissions still sometimes fails. I dealt with this in the early days of NeoOffice. I literally had to add a bunch of code *in every place that LibreOffice opens a file* that shows an open dialog for the folder that the file you want to open is in. It was awful coding that and was, at best, an elaborate hack. Plus the random Open dialog confused a lot of people. It was unmaintainable which is one of the reasons I am working on LibreOffice now. What infuriates me is that Apple stubbornly continues to enforce their overly restrictive sandbox idea on Mac App Store apps, but non-Mac App Store have no such restrictions. If Apple's sandbox code at least triggered a native dialog along the lines of "the application wants to access this file, do you want to grant permission?" would alleviate a lot of the pain of working within the sandbox. But no, the only way to get the user's permission to open a file is to slow a generic Open dialog. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128956 --- Comment #14 from Alex Thurgood --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #12) > Please see the linked URL for the Wiki "Installing in parallel/OS X" So following those instructions, there are several issues : (1) in order for a shell script to be launchable from Finder, you need to associate it with an app. By default, Terminal.app does not have the authorisation to launch userland scripts, the user has to go and authorise this in the OS security settings. (2) by default, no app is assigned to the execution ".sh" files, so this has to be sought out specifically, bearing in mind that Terminal.app does not appear in the list of "recommended applications" foressen by Apple. As it turned out, I have XCode installed, and this was set as the default for all ".sh" files. OK, navigated my way around that and managed to set Terminal.app as the app to open the ".sh" files by default. (3) double clicking on the soffice.sh file from Finder gives the following from the Terminal : alex@mbpro13 ~ % /Applications/LO/LO6461/soffice.sh ; exit; --- Welcome to the Wonderful World of Frogs! --- Starting LibreOffice find: ./Library/Application Support/MobileSync: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/CallHistoryTransactions: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/CloudDocs/session/db: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/Knowledge: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/FileProvider: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/com.apple.avfoundation/Frecents: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Application Support/CallHistoryDB: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Autosave Information: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/IdentityServices: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Messages: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/HomeKit: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Sharing: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Mail: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Accounts: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Safari: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Suggestions: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.VoiceMemos: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.archiveutility: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.Home: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.CloudDocs.MobileDocumentsFileProvider: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.mail: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.news: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Containers/com.apple.stocks: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/PersonalizationPortrait: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Metadata/CoreSpotlight: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Metadata/com.apple.IntelligentSuggestions: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Cookies: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Caches/com.apple.HomeKit: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Caches/CloudKit: Operation not permitted find: ./Library/Caches/com.apple.ap.adprivacyd: Operation not permitted find: ./.Trash: Operation not permitted -- Helper Script Done -- /Applications/LO/LO6461/soffice.sh: line 25: -env:UserInstallation=file:Users/alex: No such file or directory Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128956 --- Comment #13 from Aron Budea --- I'm not in favor of closing unexplained behavior concerning user profiles without any investigation. If random settings are forgotten when switching between versions, it can be a serious issue, LibreOffice shouldn't have a problem with that. Sure, if a configuration item is made obsolete or is renamed, I can think of that as a valid reason for similar behavior when switching back to an older version.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128956 --- Comment #11 from Alex Thurgood --- If the decision is don't run multiple versions of LO on macOS with the same user config, then we should clearly say so, IMHO. I think we should bear in mind that people download and install Fresh/Stable (or whatever they're called today) precisely to try and evaluate what the newer one has fixed and broken over the old one. Modifying bootstraprc files in the app bundle is not a trivial operation for the casual user in such a situation, and probably not recommended from a macOS app bundle verification point of view (I haven't tested to check whether it does in fact cause some kind of security warning issue). If you already have an installed version of LO, when you install a different version, you get asked whether you want to replace the existing app bundle or keep both versions. By default, macOS appends a space and a digit to the LibreOffice app bundle name. So, for a second installation, the app bundle will be named "LibreOffice 2", etc. However, it continues to use the existing user configuration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

And in fact, both the 'new' macOS method of a helper script setting a PROFILE_DIR environment variable; or the 'old' method of manual edit of bootstraprc and setting the internal 'UserInstallation' variable to internal $ORIGIN path work with a unique profile for each LibreOffice installation. Either method is intended to allow you to keep your operational user profile separate from your testing profile--so as to not corrupt your user profile, and reduce the frequency of needing to reset profile to restore function. But that is not really the main issue of the comment 0 which is about your Java runtime.

Especially since they will then have to separately copy over the bits of the user profile they want, or else configure them manually again. 4) I imagine that tampering with the bootstraprc file might void the notarisation process on Catalina (haven't tested). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Would think for your own sanity, only one version should be in the Applications library--and certainly never with matching 'LibreOffice' program names. Extract any other installer dmg where you like, then enter the archive and in the Program directory edit bootstraprc config chaning the $SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4 --> $ORIGIN/../ LibreOffice profile created with an $ORIGIN path is internally relative to the LO package archive. The $SYSUSERCONFIG is to your os login--probably don't want to routinely muddle your "daily" profile, with your "testing" build specific profiles.
