| Oct 9, 2019 at 20:12 | comment | added | jksoegaard | @wsaleem Why would that not be good practice? - You changed the question from being about "emacs" (which would easily be understood as the one that comes with the system) to being about a specific "emacsformacosx.com emacs". I then updated the answer to account for both. The actual answer is the same before and after the edit (i.e. this is how to enable Full Disk Access), but I added the explanation that now that you specified that you're using a specific emacs distribution, now it is a different program that should be given FDA. | |

Responding to your new, edited reply, yes, I did not share that I am not using the default emacs. That is outdated and I believe it is standard practice to install a newer one separately. Catalina seems to have dropped the default emacs. | |

| Oct 8, 2019 at 12:42 | comment | added | wsaleem | My Emacs is from emacsformacosx.com which claims to be "Pure Emacs". Granting Emacs "Full Disk Access" does not seem to be solving the problem. | |
| Oct 8, 2019 at 10:40 | comment | added | jksoegaard | You failed to mention that you have a non-default installation of Emacs. In this case, drag the Emacs icon into the list instead of Terminal.app. | |
| Oct 8, 2019 at 10:34 | comment | added | wsaleem | Thanks, this is the first thing I did. It does not provide access to Emacs launched from the icon. However, if I launch Emacs from the package contents, it launches through Terminal and has access. This may be due to the fact that I granted access to Terminal earlier. I would like to have access through the icon. | |
