Summary: ChimeraX bug report submissionSave spin movie to desktop: Operation not permitted

Resolution: nonchimerax
Status: assignedclosed

Appears you denied permission for ChimeraX to access your Desktop so it gives an error trying to save a spin movie to the desktop. You'd have to give it permssion, macOS system preferences Security & Privacy / Files and Folders / UCSF ChimeraX / Desktop Folder.

I've made this error give a simpler message saying Desktop permission was denied.
