General question: File not found

[Jan Erik Moström]

Hi,

I don't think this is a BBEdit problem, but using BBEdit was how I first 
discovered this. And it doesn't seem to happen with non-text files.

I have files in a folder hierarchy, when I double-click a file to open it I get 
this error message

> File not found (macOS error code: -43).

and

> File not found (macOS error code: -43).
>
> [CApplication.mm:5616]


First I thought it was a problem with Path Finder (which I normally use) but I 
get the same result when I try in Finder.

If I move the enclosing folder to the Desktop I get the same error, but if I 
move the file to the Desktop then I can open it. I tried open the file using 
TextEdit but it doesn't open the file (but I get no error message).

This doesn't happen all the time, sometimes it works. And everything seems just 
fine when using git, the files are checked in etc.

These are regular text files - markdown formatted with .md extension (I haven't 
seen this on any other files ... but I'm mostly using text files). My only 
guess here is that it

The files are all on the internal "disk", I'm using macOS 13.3.1 and Disk 
Utility says everything is OK.

However, I just discovered that there is one common thing for these files: they 
all have enclosing folders with the characters å, ä or ö in them, but this 
shouldn't be a problem should it? Or is it git that is doing something strange 
here?

I'm grateful for any advice.

I have the same experience. If I immediately repeat the “Open” command or 
double-click, the files open normally. Also doesn’t seem unique to BBEdit, and 
I still haven’t spotted a pattern, such as with the file hierarchy, behind the 
inconsistent behavior.

Pretty weird to see a file in the Finder, double-click it and have the OS say 
it can’t find the file.

Re: General question: File not found

[François Schiettecatte]

Not sure how relevant this is but I regularly lose access to my Documents 
folders, the Finder does not want to open it and I cannot access any files in 
it with any application, restarting the Finder is the only solution I have 
found that works.

Re: General question: File not found

[iZann]

Ah, so glad to see this thread. Yes! This just recently started happening 
to me also. I do not think it has anything to do with BBEdit but probably 
has a lot to do with the Mac OS Finder. This has been happening to me now 
for less than a month — maybe a couple of weeks.

Re: General question: File not found

[Ron Catterall]

I've very recently seen the same when running in Terminal.

ls   -  listed the file OK

find  - couldn't see it

cat  - said file does not exis

logout/login  - all OK again

BBedit was NOT running, so this is not a BBedit problem.

Re: General question: File not found

As a first step, please bring up BBEdit's Preferences window, select the 
Application pane and check to see whether sandbox access is allowed.

In case it is not, please grant access to BBEdit and then try performing your 
searches (etc.) again.

Too bad ... I kind of expected that BBEdit would fix all bugs everywhere 😜

Well, thanks to all who have answered, it feels better knowing that I'm not 
alone having this problem.
