Exporting or saving entries in ConQuest on MacOS 12.0 results in a "The save file operation failed to connect to the open and save panel service" error

Solution

ConQuest may fail to export or save search results or queries on MacOS 12.0 and give the error

"The save file operation failed to connect to the open and save panel service."

This issue is resolved in later releases of MacOS so we would recommend updating to version 12.3 or later.
