Bug description
When I tried to launch Processing, the application failed to open and displayed a "Cannot access sketchbook" message.
The on-screen instructions suggested resolving the issue by running the command tccutil reset All org.processing.four in the Terminal;
however, this resulted in the following error:
"tccutil: No such bundle identifier “org.processing.four”: The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.)"
Upon investigation, I discovered that "org.processing.four" has been changed to "org.processing.app".
As the current wording is misleading, please correct it.
Steps to reproduce this
1.System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders → Processing
2.Disable Documents
3.Open Processing
