Are local file permissions respected when running Wisfile?

Wisfile fully respects your system's existing file permissions and only acts on explicitly imported files or folders. It runs locally on your device and does not bypass your operating system's security controls. You must manually import or drag files/folders into Wisfile for processing; it does not automatically scan or access restricted system directories or locked files without explicit user authorization.
This local processing model ensures Wisfile operates entirely within the access rights granted by you and your OS, aligning with its core privacy-first approach. It never attempts to read, move, or rename files your system prohibits access to.
