I have MacOS Catalina on my laptop and System Preferences is annoyingly nagging me.
- I open Mellel.
- A System Preferences notification comes up telling me Mellel wants to access the Documents folder.
- I open System Preferences and unlock it, but Mellel doesn't show up on 'Security and Privacy' > 'Privacy' > 'Files and Folders'.
- Moreover, the notification is grayed out and I cannot operate on it.
With other applications, the solution is to restart the computer and go again to System Preferences > Security and Privacy. The application now shows up there and I can authorize it.
With Mellel, it is to no avail. I restart the computer, but Mellel keeps not showing there and I cannot authorize it. Simply, the notification comes up again and all stays the same.
I would appreciate a helping hand here. The Apple forums do not seem to have any similar question registered.
Thanks in advance.

Re: MacOS System Preferences permissions
This is just a wild guess, but perhaps you have to manually add Mellel to the list of apps (by clicking on the + sign below the list). Or have you already tried that?

Re: MacOS System Preferences permissions
Thank you.
It worked, but in a slightly different way: The +– button in "Files and Folders" was inactive, so I authorized Mellel in "Full Disk Access" and, having done that, Mellel showed up in "Files and Folders".
Again, thanks a lot.
