I don't understand what is going on here
My problem is as follows. As a regular users, I launch C1 20 and select "file then open" to navigate to the directory containing the file I wish to edit and find all the files and subdirectories therein are grayed out. OK, permissions I think, so end the C1 20.
I navigate to the parent directory of the one that contains the desired directory in first paragraph. I highlight it, then select "Action" and execute "get info", unlock the lock in lower right, and change over to superuser to change permissions and for everyone in the list to "read and write" and choose the gear button and select the option "Apply to enclosed items" (which is accepted without complaint).
Back to C1 20, navigate to the directory ib first paragraph, and low and behold, everything is STILL grayed out.
What is going on here? My intent is to make everything in the directory containing the file I want readable and writable by anyone who uses my computer (which is only me). Is this not equivalent to UNIX's "chmod -R read bit .OR. write bit" instruction?
What is worse for me is why are all the items in the directory (of paragraph one) unelectable in the first place? I created them in the first place...
Please help.

When you say "I launch C1 20 and select "file then open" to navigate to the directory containing the file I wish to edit" it is not fully clear to me what you mean.
If you are using the File menu, then Open... then what Capture One is expecting to open is a catalog or session.
If you just want to open an image, then
- in a catalog, you'd need to import the image into the catalog (so add its folder then import one or more images from that folder)
- in a session, you can just navigate to the folder in question in the Library tool, find the image you want and work on it.
So if you use a session and the Library tool, you should be fine.

I think you don't realise this: Capture One is not just a photo editor, it is also a photo manager.
To have Capture One edit an image, you first add the image to a session or catalog. Lets stick with catalog for the moment.
Your workflow is like this:
- Make a new Catalog. Call it anything you like, store it anywhere you like. Call it Catalog1 and put on the Desktop if you like. or in the Pictures folder. So far its an empty Catalog.
- Use Capture One's Import function to Import a bunch of images into the Catalog. I usually throw all my images into my Incoming Catalog. You likely don't want to move the image files inside the Catalog file, you just want the Catalog to refer to the image files where you have them stored. This is called Referenced storage. In the Capture One Import menu, you select the options Import To> Destination> Current Location Now you haven't moved or duplicated any files, you have just "told" Capture One's Catalog where the images are.
- Now use Capture One's Library tool. Select the Folder "All Images". Somewhere on your screen you will see Capture One's browser, and it shows all the images in All Images. Select the image you want to edit. You will see the image in Capture One's viewer. You can now edit the image. Changes are saved in Capture one's database automatically, the file is never touched.
- Why do you want a Capture One catalog anyway? Lets say you have a picture of your dog when you went camping. Perhaps you want it in your Family album, in your Dog album, and in your Camping album. No need for three copies of the file. With Capture One's Library tool, make three Albums in the User Collections area; Family, Dog and Camping. Drag the image from All Images into each album. There is still only one copy of the file. There is still only one database entry for the edits. If you decide to fix the editting while you are in the Family album, you will find that the fix appears everywhere (in Capture One's Folders) that you have placed it.
