DID SOMEONE SAY VERSION 2?! Surely, surely, this will fix it. But alas: the same old thing. Splash screen with everything updated and permissions set as permissively as possible. Not only does it not work, but the Fuji Cam app (a) does not launch when the camera is connected and (b) all the options are greyed out when you launch it manually. In other words, a total fail. Someone said they'd be willing to pay someone to fix this. Me too! But here's thing. I arguably did pay for it by purchasing a really expensive camera with this feature. And honestly, that makes me want to look around at other cameras, which, I'm told, Just Work. Steve

No one really knows what's going on. People seem to have no problem with MacOS versions earlier than Catalina, but most people can't seem to get it to work with Catalina (it's a Heisenbug; some people can get it to work!). For awhile, it was looking like a permissions problem with particular applications (like Zoom), but I'm now pretty skeptical of that. I've definitely tried every combination I can think of -- including Full Disk Access. I really wish Fuji would address this. It's frustrating to have to use a lousy built-in webcam when you have a really gorgeous (not to mention expensive) camera sitting right next to it! Did I mention that I got it to work exactly once? There was a new version of Zoom, it asked for removable folder permissions (which were already enabled), I hooked up the camera, and it worked. Next time I fired up Zoom, it didn't work. And it hasn't worked since. I suspect that there's some kind of disconnect between the Fuji driver and the new(ish) Mac permissions system, but it's hard to tell.

@joel_damien_55 I was so hopeful! But I have granted every kind of permission I can think of for Zoom (and interestingly, it does not offer "removable volumes" as an option in the Files and Folders section for me -- only the Downloads folder). And this doesn't change even I do a clean re-install and ok removable volumes during the reinstall. That almost makes me wonder if some element of Zoom permissions persists even after the Zoom client is removed (through the app's own uninstall menu item). But I've been all over ~/Library and /Library, and I don't see anything.

I get close! The installer works fine, and apps like Zoom and OBS recognize the device, but it won't, um, show any video. I just get the Fuji splash screen. Are people generally getting that far? I've been over the camera settings (on my Xpro-2) a dozen times, and everything is set up correctly as far as I can tell.
