Hi Don -
Thanks for the reply.

I first gave Full Disk Access before using the terminal command and it did not change the outcome.

After running the terminal command to open Alice, I got the popups asking to grant access to Documents and Downloads and so now they appear checked off in Security & Privacy - Files and Folders but the command still has to be run each time I want to open Alice and see any files listed.

One workaround that seems to work for me, if you are comfortable using the Terminal on your Mac is to type in the following at your prompt:

/Applications/Alice\ 2.5.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaAppLauncher ;
