Permissions to Documents on MacOS - BSOL OpenSCAD library

I am trying to use the BOSL OpenSCAD library https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL I have installed as per the instructions and all works if I use the OpenSCAD GUI.

But If I try and import into FreeCAD a scad file that uses I get the following errors
18:58:37 WARNING: Can't open include file 'BOSL/constants.scad'.
WARNING: Can't open library file '/Users/keithsloan/Documents/OpenSCAD/libraries/BOSL/shapes.scad'

WARNING: Ignoring unknown module 'cuboid' in file Cube_Fillet.scad, line 3
Seems to be a problem with MacOS as @chennes reports it works on Windows.

If I perform the following from the FreeCAD python console I get

Code: Select all

This web page has info on allowing an application called nicepage to access the Documents folder
https://nicepage.com/doc/84207/access-d ... lder-macos

Following the procedure OpenSCAD and a number of other apps show up and allow access. FreeCAD does NOT !! :-(
Looks like FreeCAD on a Mac is not doing all it should visa vi security on the Mac.
