Hi !

I feel some problems on my last test day of your nice & powerful soft.

I'm working on a powerbook (Intel) and an external drive

I want to change a directory name, for this i use you quick action :  
\_DIRECTORY  
and %album% for example  
i've got an error :

When i'm doing the same thing but for create a directory, it works perfectly

Of course i've checked all the permission on the disk / Folders & files

Then why can't i rename folders ? i check & test a lot without results

> Hi Florian, Thanks for the greatly useful app. It's a perfect app to organize tag for my music library. I have an issue with the app when using it on my second Macbook, though. When trying to edit any metadata, it's said that I can't access the file on my external hard drive. I already gave Mp3Tag full disk access on Security & Privacy.

Is this still happening? If so, can you close Mp3tag and run Terminal.app with the command

`defaults delete app.mp3tag.Mp3tag SecurityScopedBookmarks`

After that, load the root directory of your external volume and retry the operation.

I'm getting the same issue using my 5 TB external hard drive and I can't get it resolved. I am using a 2020 MacBook Air with an Apple M1 chip on Big Sur 11.5.2. I tried the 'defaults delete app.mp3tag.Mp3tag SecurityScopedBookmarks' fix but it didn't work. I have all permissions on this external hard drive but I can't move the files to a new directory using a custom Action. Please help.

I think I might have fixed it. I opened Mp3Tag and then went to 'Mp3Tag-\>Preferences' in Preferences, I changed the 'General-\>Startup Folder' to the root folder of the music files that I am working on. That seemed to do the trick. Have to see if it works with all the files in the root folder but it should I would think.

If you load the root folder, Mp3tag gets permission to access all files and folders under the root. This should do the trick.

You can also do this via Cmd+O and set the startup folder to something that doesn't take much time to load (except if you actually want to load the whole drive on startup).
