Time Machine mounts on macOS => Synergy crashes

[Steffen W Soerensen 1]

Think it has been mentioned earlier but again, please fix for this would be nice.

When ever a Time Machine FS is mount (normally hide in the GUI for the user) then Synergy Background Service crashes constantly and has to be unloaded from a Termnial with:

$ launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.symless.synergy.synergy-service.plist

 

Here a crash report stack dump showing it's a permission issue, why even test various mounted file systems makes me wonder, but a solution is properly to stay away from mountpoints under: /Volumes/com.apple.TimeMachine.*

Im getting the same error. I turned off time machine all together and Synergy 2.0.12 launches fine but turn time machine back on (I have every intention of keeping this on) I cannot launch Synergy again. Same permission to volume error as above. I don't understand why you would want to access my time machine?

Side note: Just as a test i added Synergy to the allowed list for 'Full Disk Access' under Settings > Security and Privacy > Privacy as it says it gives it access to time machine backups but I still get the error above.
