Getting "Cannot access file ..." when accessing a folder starting with the "_" symbol

Everything is in the title
The bug doesn't occur anymore when renaming the folder without the "_"

Plateform. MacOS 12.6 (Intel processor)

PS: Thanks for this GREAT software on Mac

Cheers

Does it work if you open the folder (not the individual files) via ⌘O ?

[cphilippe]

Have to "allow" when I try to rename files

Hi Jon and welcome! The issue you're experiencing is due to Mp3tag being a sandboxed application.

Thanks for the quick feedback.
But why does it work when I simply remove the "_" as 1st letter (ex. "_flac" in "flac") ?

[Florian]

It's possible that Mp3tag has already stored a secure bookmark for the folder without the underscore.

Tip top, many thanks Florian.
