I get this error quite often. I have saved a script and when I quit SD, I notice the .scpt file icon does not have the SD icon in the thumbnail. When I try to reload the script into SD I get the Error message
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -43.)
What causes this error?
Is there anyway I can recover the script so that I can open it?
How can I prevent the error from happening again?
I am using a mac (catalina)
I have just noticed that if I make a copy of the script file, I can open that copy ok and after closing the copy, I can then open the original file again!
But neither file has the SD icon in the thumbnail.
It sounds like you don’t have Full Disk Access enabled for Script Debugger.
As far as I know I set up Full disk access for SD but how can I check or reset this?
The problem is intermittent. Different versions of the same script will have no problem to start with but if I make minor modifications/additions and save then exit, sometimes I get the error when I try to open the file again.
Open System Preferences to the Security & Privacy panel, click the Privacy tab, then on the left scroll down to Full Disk Access. You will need to click on the padlock at the very bottom-left of the panel to make changes.
Let me know if it was already there and checked.
Thanks Shane, SD did not have full disk access. I was sure I had set this up when I first ran SD. But I have reset it so will keep am eye on it and see how it goes.
