I wonder what’d happen to their core set of users if Adobe uprooted and pulled all their products from the Mac platform (Photoshop, Acrobat, Pagemaker anyone?)

Not a great future for a company that had graphic design as it’s niche.

I see Apple’s restriction like this: Someone asks you to write a paper but instructs you that you HAVE to use Microsoft Word to write the paper. Pages can produce the exact same document, but this person is convinced using anything except Word will create a “sub-standard” paper. Yes, app development is much more complex than a memo to a coworker, but the concept is just as ridiculous.

Wrong analogy. Apple didn’t ask or contract any developers to write stuff for the iphone/ipad. Developers want in on a lucrative business. It’s like bidding on a contract with the government or a company. You want the contract, or you want the business, then you stick to certain guidelines. Apple isn’t forcing anybody to write software for the iphone. If you want in, you play by the rules. It’s Apple’s platform, so it’s Apple’s rules. You don’t like the rules, there are many more mobile platforms to write software for.

Remember the transition to the Intel architecture? Since 2003, Apple had been urging developers, including Adobe to use Apple’s tools for development. Developers that had moved to XCode before 2005 needed only to check a box in XCode and recompile to have their applications run natively on the Intel Macs. Adobe and Microsoft, because of their use of their own tools and others that were using the Code Warrior tools, couldn’t simply move and took years to support intel macs natively if at all.

What if Apple came out with a new processor that needed new binaries? They could easily add support in their own tools, but, then all the applications built using Flash would have to wait for Adobe to support this new binary that future gadgets from Apple would need.

The argument is not, “Use Apple’s tool vs. Use Adobe’s tool.” The argument is, “Use Apple’s tool vs. Use Any tool.” IF Adobe were to become the head-and-shoulders above the rest, preferred platform AND they placed unreasonable restrictions on their product THEN they might be in the same situation.

I see Apple’s restriction like this: Someone asks you to write a paper but instructs you that you HAVE to use Microsoft Word to write the paper. Pages can produce the exact same document, but this person is convinced using anything except Word will create a “sub-standard” paper. Yes, app development is much more complex than a memo to a coworker, but the concept is just as ridiculous.

It like if Microsoft allowed only Visual Studio to develop in windows. (which is not the case) but still if you want to use new features people resort to visual studio.

You are painting very romantic future that every one will move to adobe.

Add the file extension ACSM to the key LSRiskCategoryExtensions.

Here’s an example:

LSRiskCategorySafe

LSRiskCategoryContentTypes

public.html

LSRiskCategoryExtensions

ACSM

The following command removes the quarantine bit from the files:

find . -name '*.phtml' -exec xattr -d com.apple.quarantine {} \;

of course, you need to navigate to the directory holding those phtml files before you type this command. The backslash before the semi-colon at the end is important.

All other file types I’ve tested are okay just .phtml

I used Safari 4 to download this file a few months back.

Any .phtml files downloaded after are fine and do not give the annoying message.

Any ideas as I have many files with this extension?

As first it didn’t work because I mistakenly put the plist file in Library/Preferences instead of Users/Username/Library/Preferences. After I moved it to the correct location it works and saves me countless clicks (opening HUNDREDS of php files today).

This “feature” of Leopard is SOOOOO annoying !

Thank you so much for sharing !

It took Purolator like 4 days to ACTUALLY mail out my package, and then 3 days to tell me that the package has an incorrect zip code.

It is now past the deadline and I know for sure that I provided the correct zip code… its not hard… its only FOUR NUMBERS.

So now, Im frustrated and will probably never use Purolator again.

PLSKTHNXBAI.

I’ve been so irritated that TextMate decided to implement this security “feature” introduced in Mac OS X Leopard, and refuses to open multiple php files at once even when I accept one of them.

Apple has definitely made a wrong decision here about executing “safe” content upon download and not showing the file extensions by default!

The php mysql.default_sock setting saved my day!

Thanks for that tip – I had the same problem and your hint did the trick.

There seems to be a difference from the version of Leopard/php5 that you describe to what I have. The reference to the php5.conf file in /private/etc/apache2/other/ was nowhere to be found in my httpd.conf file. I had to add the include at the bottom of the includes myself. I then restarted apache, flushed the Safari buffer/cache, and finally I got to work instead of just showing the source code.

My sincere thanks!

For those that it didn’t work, try restarting Safari. No idea if that is mandatory, but it’s what I did and it works great.
