Adium 1.5.1 Alert from OS X Lion every time it launches

Post by Ereth »

Last week Adium patched to 1.5.1. Ever since I've been getting the alert from the OS that "This program has been downloaded from the Internet" every time I launch it. This is normal the first time you launch something, but for some reason I'm getting it every time. I was looking for a solution elsewhere and was told it was a Lion bug that the app developer had to work around and I should mention it to you. Alas, the person telling me that didn't give me any more information than that and, of course, on the Internet in particular he could be wrong, but I thought I'd ask, in case you knew what it was about.

Thank you.

I don't think it was the patch,

I have it happen with a porgram called slizzling keys, its the only one that does that, I can not figure out why, I think it was 7.3 or 7.4 update that started it

I'm getting that little pop-up alert too. I'm still on 10.6.8, instead of Lion, though.

I'm having the same problem. It was getting annoying so I tried to uninstall & it won't allow me to delete it. It says it's locked even though I checked the info and it isn't locked. Any ideas??

i am having the same problem on 10.6.8.

in addition, when adium starts up, it does not take focus - focus remains on whatever app had focus before starting adium.

it's like a flag somewhere has not been set...

fixed: a previous poster's comment that it was "locked" along with my own feeling that it was an unset flag prompted me...did a "Get Info," the owner was set to a different user account, changed ownership to my usual account (which is where i use adium), changed permissions to read & write, closed adium. the next time i opened it, got the same message, which i expected. closed it again, opened it again and presto - no message, and it took focus.
