10.5: Remove the 'downloaded file' warning flag
Authored by: chtito on Sun, Mar 2 2008 at 7:14AM PST

This quarantine thing drives me nuts. It is so irritating. Imagine I downloaded a new python library with 100+ files inside. All those files are quarantined. I must click 100 times to open the files!!!! First off, super user or not, when I double-click a file, I just want it to open. I bloody well know that I downloaded it from internet! Second, I want to have the possibility to turn the damn "feature" off. Vista-esque is cruel but perfectly true. This is by very, very far the most annoying, stupid idea that I ever saw Apple developers come up with.
