I installed MC32 on my MacMini (late 2014; OS 12.7.5) a few days ago. Today it asked permission to access Documents. I never encountered this with previous versions of MC. Why would it do that?

The reasoning for needed permissions is covered here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,137894.0.html

If you are asked for accessibility permissions you must accept that (it's how MC deals with retina displays).
If you are asked for screen recording permissions, you need to accept that for MC's user interface to operate properly, MC uses that permission to copy from part of it's window to another part of it's window. It's not used for anything else.
If you are asked for permission for input monitoring (capturing keys) you must accept that if you want the media keys on your keyboard to work in MC, it's not used for anything else.
When the system asks for permissions for MC to do disk access (Music, Pictures, Movies, Removable drives, etc) you must accept those to be able to access your media or CD/DVD drives or mounted NAS filesystems, or external drives)

I should add that in the case of Documents it is also where MC stores it's backups under a JRiver folder.
