LO Vanilla on BigSur - file access denied

English
#1

Hi there, I hope I’m formulating my problem in the correct way, as this is my first time.

I’m on MacBook M1, a few months ago I moved from OpenOffice to LibreOffice and I purchased L.O. Vanilla from apple store to grant some help to the project.

Right now, I get the error message “Access to [filename] was denied” every time I open a file from LibreOffice or I set a cross reference to other spreadsheet.

I tried to give full disk access to the app on System Preferences, but nothing changed.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times, but nothing changed.

There’s no way I can change the software version reversing to some older repository, as I downloaded it from the Mac App Store.
Does anybody else encountered the same problem, and/or have some suggestion for me?

Thank you in advance

“Right now”

Was it OK previously? Has there been an update? Try removing Disk Access, closing the dialog, re-opening the dialog and granting full disk access again.

Hi!
I did it already three times, but nothing has changed…
Before last update, I didn’t use it a lot, so I’m unsure if it used to work or not.
Actually, the only way I can open a file is double clicking it from finder.
Directly from the menu “open” in libreoffice it doesn’t work.
My real problem sits in the fact that I created cross references between different spreadsheets, and these doesn’t work as well as LibreOffice refuses to access the other files.

Do you have an anti virus program? Do you need to add soffice.bin to Allowed Programs in the ransomware settings?

I don’t have an antivirus, I just use Little Snitch as a firewall.
Right now, the Mac app store brought the 7.1 update and I just made some experiments.
The app is now finally able to open files directly, and (as long as I keep all the involved documents opened) the cross references at external links work.
Not the best experience, but at least today it does what it’s meant for :slight_smile:
Thank you anyway, do you think should I close this topic?

Good to hear that you have a partial fix.

Leave the question open. Someone might come up with a resolution.
