One More Mac Questions :)

[seventheyejosh]

Does anyone know how to remove this annoying box? Anything I download, be it a pdf through a site, or a .php file through FTP prompts me with this annoying popup. I realize full well the dangers, I just want to turn off the damn warning.

 

Thanks.

Probably no easy way, that is a built in "security feature".  Most likely hard coded into Finder somewhere.  A quick search did turn up this, you may want to read through it.

Yeah the Download Assessment thing is a pain

 

Create a text file called com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist under Library/Preferences in your home directory, with the following content:

 

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
   "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>LSRiskCategoryNeutral</key>
    <dict>
      <key>LSRiskCategoryContentTypes</key>
      <array>
        <string>public.item</string>
      </array>
    </dict>
  </dict>
</plist>

 

Then log out and back in.

 

 

for a more selective approach,

you can work from Content Types or Extensions

IE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>LSRiskCategorySafe</key>
<dict>
	<key>LSRiskCategoryContentTypes</key>
	<array>
		<string>public.html</string>
		<string>public.xml</string>
		<string>public.php-script</string>
		<string>com.microsoft.windows-media-wmv</string>
	</array>
	<key>LSRiskCategoryExtensions</key>
	<array>
		<string>xhtml</string>
	</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
