T0GUI-macOS: Why does FileShows prompt for Documents folder access on first launch, and what should I do?

This is because FileShows defaults to using the ~/Documents/FileShows directory (configurable) to store configuration and related data.

Please confidently click "OK" to allow access and ensure proper application functionality.

If you inadvertently click "Don't Allow", FileShows may not function correctly, requiring you to manually grant access within System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Files and Folders.ยท
