Perm fixer

Hey

Trying to get this to work as Indigo gave a permissions error.
Download and run the app - a text window appears with just a quit option. ( window shows home user, id user and folder to some reason indigo 4 - even though I'm trying to run version 7)

Don't see what else I can do?

Indigo still has the same permission errors.

Help appreciated

Downloaded the upgrade to 7.4 hoping it would "magically" fix it - no joy. On Catilina of course!

Re: Perm fixer

The Indigo installer also does the same steps to try to fix the permissions, so just re-running the installer should help. If it isn't, then what specific permissions errors are you getting? One of the common problems is the macOS user account migrated over from Apple's Migration Assistant is wrong. That is, it comes in as the old user owner instead of adopting the new admin account as the owner, which results in Indigo not being able to write to any of the folders. Indigo's installer cannot fix that problem – it has to be manually changed.
