Anyone unable to delete files from Preview directly after updating to MacOS Golden Gate 27.0.1?

Unable to delete files from Preview directly after updating to MacOS Golden Gate 27.0.1.

When I try to delete a file from the Preview app, it first asks Fingerprint/Password and after that its showing me that I don’t have permission to access my own files like wth? It's really annoying to go to Finder everytime and delete files... Please fix this frickin thing Apple 🙏🏻

I have attached screenshots below


Anyone else going thru same thing?

Personally, I can confirm that I see this behavior on macOS Golden Gate 27.0.1. When trying to delete a file from the Open dialog in native apps (e.g., Preview, Safari), with the file on the Desktop, Finder requests login credentials and still fails to move the file to the Trash. On my other Mac running macOS Tahoe 26.7.1, a file is moved to the Trash without a password prompt.

Hi,


27.0.1 is still in Beta and as such cannot be discussed in these public forums. If you are having issues with the Beta, you should use the Feedback Assistant app to report them directly to Apple. Beta versions are expected to have issues which is why they are labeled as Beta.

I can replicate the issue in macOS 27, (not beta) but if its still there in the next release, it is a really good time to report it using the Feedback Assistant App so Apple can look at it and fix it before the public release.



It's the same thing with files in downloads... if you see my screenshots, you can observe that files from downloads are also giving me the same trouble. Idk when they'll fix this bug.


Anyways thanks for helping, I filled the feedback form. :)
