Can't choose users file

   Hello Alejandro,

   Did you select your home folder? The folder name will be what ever the username of your Mac is.

   I hope this helps,
   James

   Hi Alejandro,

   Sorry for the delayed response.

   What OS X version are you running? It looks like Yosemite, which means it defiantly should be working.

   Can you show the full screenshot? You maybe selecting the incorrect folder.

   This has never happened before so I'm not sure what is going on.

   Sorry for the hassle,
   James

   same thing as the previous posters . . I'm also running OS X Yosemite. all of the folders (all possible folders) seem to be greyed out such that I can't select any folder and it seems that I can't do anything else with PrivacyGaurd until I have selected a folder.

   I think perhaps the problem might be that I did not select a folder the very first time it was offered (it might have been possible at that point) - but I did not because I wanted to add a special folder for the purpose (I think it would be nice if you had a create new folder option available on that screen)>

   As a favor in addition to fixing the problem, please suggest a name and location for the folder that will likely work well.
