Message of Error - Unable to save raw data conversion settings _bridge to camera raw

For a few days now I have this error message once I close my files on camera raw.
"Unable to save raw data conversion settings, a write permissions error has occurred." I state that I open the files on camera raw via bridge.
It's like it can't save the xmp file. I have already tried to change the folder to the files, but unfortunately the error returns.

The strangest thing is that it happens sometimes yes and sometimes not. I use a Mac, with the same files, on another Mac it doesn't happen. What could have happened?

    In System Preferences, >Security & Privacy, >Full Disk Access, do you see Photoshop listed? If not, add it and try again.

     

    This expalins how to do the same process in Lightroom, just pick Photoshop or any software instead:

    I thank you. Fixed, permissions for photoshop access to the desk were missing.

    this did not work for me - ever since i updated my operating system last month i have had this issue - i went back to an older (2021) version of bridge and photoshop, but i can only save .xmp if i work from my desktop, if i open something and edit it on a portable drive, it will not save the xmp and the work is lost. this is slowing me down as i need to transfer all my work to desktop to edit, then

    back to an external to store. pleae advise!

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Camera RAW forum so that proper help can be offered.
