10.5: Remove the 'downloaded file' warning flag
Although I like the warning when I open a program for the first time, if I've decided to keep it I don't want to be warned every time I try to open it thereafter, so I think this hint is great. But instead of having it as a folder action (which effectively obliterates the feature completely), I prefer it as an Automator Finder plug-in, which allows me to change the setting for an individual application that I've decided to keep. For anyone who's interested, here's how I made it (based off of the code in the original hint): Create a new workflow in Automator and pick
Now choose "Save as Plug-In" from the File menu, make sure the Finder is selected as the plug-in type, and give it a name (I named mine "Remove Quarantine Flag").
10.5: Remove the 'downloaded file' warning flag
if I've decided to keep it I don't want to be warned every time I try to open it thereafter Like someone else wrote earlier: I only get the warning once, in a quite intelligent manner. If you're getting the warning each time you open the file then some bug might be bothering you.

Update: In 10.6, this should be created as a Service, not a Workflow, as 10.6 does not offer the option to save it as a Finder plugin any more.
As a service, the "Get Selected Finder items" step is not necessary any more - instead one configures the Service at the top to receive selected "files or folders" in "Finder.app". I also suggest to wrap the "do shell script" line between a "try" and "end" so that it will not abort the processing of a larger selection when a single selected file is not quarantined.

To be able to do this on files that you don't have privileges for, simply append 'with administrator privileges' (without the quotes) at the end of the do shell script line. AppleScript will then present a dialog asking for your admin password. |
