macOS + NearInfinity permission issues?

[a.greene]

Hi,

I've recently transitioned from a 2013 MacBook Pro to a 2019 MacBook Pro running the most recent version of macOS 10.15.7

After completing a fresh install Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition via Beamdog client, I'm now getting multiple permission errors when attempting to use the most recent version of NearInfinity.

I've included my Debug Console below:

As you can see, I'm getting the the following error:

java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /Users/greener/Documents/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition/Portraits: Operation not permitted

I've tried setting folder permissions via sharing & permissions tab to Read & Write without success, I've tired reinstalling BGEE, I've tried multiple versions of Java, I've even tried giving Java full disk access via security and privacy tab in the system preferences menu, all without success. 

I was some how able to grant specific folder access to Java on my old computer, but seem unable to do that again. I've scoured the internet without success, and I'm now humbly asking for assistance.

Cheers,
