Comment 3 for bug 1921541

Saw it on each mac once after installing 2.3 I think. I am not sure what triggers this but would assume this is related to the fact mixxx is now notarized and maybe Apple applies different rights management to notarized software.

It is a bit hard to say as before copying the mixxx database to this specific mac I saw the dialog on, mixxx on that mac was stuck in that dead end dialog where scanning the covers resulted in a crash for both selecting yes or no.

Looking at system preferences > security > privacy > files and folders Mixxx is listed with permission to access both Downloads and Documents folder (the latter where music files are stored on macs). Mixxx is not listed in Full Harddrive Access so I assume those two permissions where the ones Mixxx is asking for with this dialog.

It is also interesting that this seems to be a custom dialog, but I would expect macOS has standard dialogs that should be used for asking for file access permission.
