#1151 Mac OS / brew: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: UnauthorizedAccess_IODenied_Path, /Applications/NAPS2.app/

[Karl]

naps2 7.4.2.0 installed via brew.sh on Mac OS Monterey 12.6.6

Everything seems to work well, however the system doesn't save the generated .pdf files.
I would like to use the batch function using Patch-T Codes.
I already granted full disk access, but still doesn't work.

saving a file manually works, but without all naming conventions

what can I do?

thank you so much in advance,

Best Regards,

Karl

NAPS2 isn't supported via brew. Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling from the naps2.com website?

[Ben Olden-Cooligan]

Actually it doesn't look like brew is the problem. You need to put in a full path (click the ...). A relative path will be saved next to the NAPS2 app which isn't writable.

Thank you.
That's the solution.
I already ddi play around with this dialog, however didn't recognize, that the setttings aren't saved when naps2 is closed.
Once opened again, the path has been thrown out again and I do have to click the ... again everytime.
Can I somehow write it permanent into the settings? e.g. with command line?

[Ben Olden-Cooligan]

Batch settings are saved when you click the Start button (but not if you close out without scanning).

Thank you!
