Operating System Requirements for Mac
ProSelect on macOS 13.4 and later
To allow access to certain system resources such as System Events, the Finder, and other applications (such as connecting to Photoshop during Pro Production), macOS needs permission. Permission is also required to access your Desktop, Documents, and Downloads.
Allowing Permissions
With any application on these versions of macOS, the first time that you try to read or write to a restricted location on your hard disk or a system resource, macOS will prompt you for permission to allow the program to have this access. Restricted locations now include your Desktop and your Documents folder as well as any other areas on your hard disk outside your account area where you might wish to store your files.
ProSelect needs to have Full Disc Access enabled:
- Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access.
- Toggle the button to enable ProSelect. You will be asked to provide an administrative password.
- Once enabled, you will be asked to restart ProSelect to complete the process. You can do this now, or later.
You will find a shortcut to this in ProSelect by going to the top menu, Help > Set macOS Full Disk Access.
Starting with OSX 10.14 (Mojave), Your permission is needed to access certain system resources such as System Events, the Finder, and other applications (such as connecting to Photoshop during High-Res Production).
OSX 10.15.x (Catalina) and macOS 11.x (Big Sur) extends this even further. You now have to give permission for applications to access your Desktop, Documents folder, and other areas of your disk.
