Hi all, I’m still using RW8. When I tried to export to a local folder on my Mac I got this error: “Missing export path Due to macOS security settings, we were unable to obtain access to your export folder. Please re-choose your export folder to continue.” Reselecting the folder doesn’t help. Any ideas? Thanks! Jeff ---

Everytime again I get the same message "Due to MacOS security settings, we were unable to access your export folder. I re-choose again and again, without any success. I downgraded to 8.1.7, but still the same message. I also changed the permissions for this folder. What can I do? It’s frustrating … Edit : after a restart everything is working now (8.1). I will install 8.3 now. Try that first and let us know how you get on.
