Description

In my settings for Files & Folders access, the `watchman` executable appears many many times:

It seems that each time watchman is updated it adds an entry rather than replacing the existing one (even though it is installed to the same location). Watchman is the only process that does this.

How do I prevent this from happening? How do I clean up all of the redundant (I have about a dozen) entries?
