igv: Problems loading sessions
This is a bizarre problem, but since I upgraded to macOS Catalina (10.15.5 ), I can’t load my old saved sessions. It impacts the newest, but also all previous versions of IGV that I tested. After attempting to load the session file I get error window with these messages
/path/to/my/file.bigWig org.broad.igv.exceptions.DataLoadException: /path/to/my/file.bigWig (Operation not permitted)
When I dismiss the error window, IGV keeps throttling my cpu, but never succeeds loading. The error strangely disappears once I load the track file at least once manually, but after IGV restart is appears again. I was suspecting the new security on Catalina, but even when I give IGV full disk access it still does not solve it.

@Mashin6 I was able to reproduce the issue on my MacBook. These Apple security issues can be difficult to track down - we’ll see what we can do.
