OK, so version 2.1.0 on an Intel Mac. Had this problem on and off. Suggested solution is to run as admin which is a pain at best on a Mac. Don’t know if these forums are read by the devs but this is my commandline log from starting as admin. Result is the same on selecting file - Error: (0 , h.requestMetadata) is not a function.
