Can't save .las/.laz files on Mac

[kdjacob]

I really hope someone can help me here.

Here's the environment I'm running on a MacBook with Apple M1 silicon running Sequoia 15.3.1.

THE PROBLEM: I am unable to save ANY file from CC.

Here is the error message I get in the log window:

[16:29:11] An error occurred while saving '/Users/KenJacobMacbook/QGIS/LiDAR/temp test folder/USGS_LPC_CT_Statewide_C16_830905_nw_lasheight.laz': the third-party library in charge of saving/loading the file has failed to perform the operation

This error occurs if all I do is open a .laz file from the USGS website, do nothing to it, and then try to save it to a new file. And it happens to ALL other point clouds I've processed in CC (wonderfully, by the way -- very happy with what I can do in this program.)

I've attached the state of the save dialog box (I didn't change anything) in case that's helpful.

HELP PLEASE!!!

Sincerely,

Ken

I guess it's related to the github issue?

I'm also concerned that the 2.13 version is getting quite old. We should ask Paul Rascle to create a new binary with the latest 2.14.alpha version...

After upgrading to macos 15.4, all the buttons to open, save and save as are not working. Also cmd+s isn't working. There is no way to save data out of cloudcompare, I tried with these builds "CloudCompare_20250314_161011.dmg" and "CloudCompare_2.13.2__arm64.dmg"

I just built 2.14.alpha from source and the problem I still there. I can't save anything!!
