Problem with Modelbuilder/macOS packages accessing filesystem
The symptoms aren't completely characterized, but the primary problem is that the file dialog in the macOS modelbuilder nightly packages does not display most/all of the file system. Using the latest nightly build (08-Feb-2021) (folder https://data.kitware.com/#collection/58fa68228d777f16d01e03e5/folder/6020ccfc2fa25629b94d0aae) the following actions/observations were made:
- Downloaded onto macbook pro running Big Sur (11.1)
- Using, e.g., the File => Open menu brings up a pqFileDialog. In most cases the right-hand part of the dialog is blank.
- Sometimes when clicking the "Desktop" item in the left hand side, a macOS popup appears asking if the user want to grant access to that folder. Selecting the option to permit access does not change the right-hand display - it remains blank.
- The new-file icon works, that is, it creates new folders, however they do not appear in the file dialog (the display remains blank)
- We also downloaded PV 5.9 onto the same machine and did NOT observe these symptoms with that executable.
- We noted that PV 5.9 uses Qt 5.15.1 and the nightly modelbuilder uses Qt 5.15.0
