Hello,
I see there is a proposal for the budget 2020 to fix the macOS 10.15 notarization, and the
longstanding issues in the ESC calls about fixing this bug and a save as behavior bug
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2020#Fix_macOS_10.15_notarization
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2020#Fix_macOS_10.15_notarization>
That is probably a very good idea to fix, as there’s been many bug reports about people being
unable to save on Catalina.
I installed my old SSD on my MBP to test Catalina and these issues, and this is what I found:
* An admin user has no problem to install LibreOffice, open the app, and save
* A standard user (default for the non-main account) will not be able to save files, without
granting “Full Disk Access”: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128233
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128233>
* An admin user installing a language pack will not be able to save files, without granting “ Full
Disk Access”: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132025
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132025>
* The save as bug being tracked in the ESC is actually not a serious bug, just not being able to
paste in the file name field. The two above should be tracked instead, and not
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126638
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126638>
As such, many new users to LO will be unable to get the program to work as they either are on a
Standard account or are installing another language
I suggest that the install page should be changed to include instructions to grant “Full Disk
Access” in System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy
This will help many users that currently have to google, use the ask portal, or give up if they’re
not technically inclined
I don’t know, but it could be possible, that these save as bugs are related to the code signing /
notarization issue, but I’m not a macOS developer.
The current code signing has also become more broken since Cloph looked at the issue last fall, as
now the LibreOfficePython.framework reports modified files (all in various __pycache__ folders)
Best,
Eivind
