note: that this 'hint' doesn't appear to work - it may have but certainly not with Snowleopard 10.6.4. Sigh, OSX becomes less & less functional as a server platform (that's where this 'security' feature will really screw you around).
- and snowleopard decides to show a dialogue asking permission to do anything when you try to open a file. It's an idiot feature in an otherwise OK operating system ESPECIALLY as it affects programs that try to open other programs & things start to silently fail. I've suffered long enough & decided to stop it.
open a terminal and type:
sudo defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO
reboot & it should stop happening
