@SweetP So my system ended up then having some sort of issue, I don't know what it was related to. My dock grew three active 1Password icons, two Firefox browsers, and I couldn't shut down via menu, had to button-press my iMac into shutdown.

I relaunched and some weird housekeeping needed to be done (I had to re-permit full disk access to Backblaze, for example) but after relaunching Cookie and setting it up again like new it seems to be working.

So it probably wasn't an issue with the app...

@SweetP Flower?

FYI I trashed com.sweetpproductions.CookieApp, then set up app from scratch. (Re-entered serial #)

I'm not getting constant requests for folder permissions, but in setup if I give Global permissions per-browser then click back on a browser I'd given permissions the 'Global' button is no longer greyed-out, and I click again and go through a 3-folder permssion-granting again.

When I open Cookie right now, for example, I see my 4 browsers (Safari, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi). If I click on Brave it shows 3 folder/paths (Application Support/Brave, Library/Caches, /Library/Preferences) that need permission, the 1st two have checks under 'Required' and all of them have clickable 'Allow' buttons (which SHOULD be greyed out) and Global Access is ALSO clickable. I don't know why, because I've given acess over and over. They should all be greyed-out by now, right?

@SweetP FYI I'm having this issue in Big Sur right now. I returned to my Mac (running Cookie 6.8.6) after a couple of hours which was left on and there was a pop-up window asking for permission. I clicked permission maybe 100 times, then went into Activity Monitor to quit it. I saw 6.8.7 was out so I updated it, launched and got the same constant folder requests.

I tried to give permission to folders higher-up to 'bless' all the folders below but that didn't work. I also tried Removing Sandbox Permissions but that didn't seem to do anything - the permission requests kept coming.... hundreds in a row, nonstop
