To just give you an idea of what I'm talking about, here is one of the new requirements they added in 10.15: https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/maco-notarization-security-hardening-or-security-theater/ Honestly, I just think they game they are playing is a stupid one - they can never protect people fr...

You could try to disable gatekeeper to make it 100% clear if it is the cause or not. You can see Gatekeeper's status by running: spctl --status You can disable it with: sudo spctl --master-disable You can enable it with: sudo spctl --master-enable This is of course provided that macOS 12 still allow...

This isn't new with macOS 12 - some parts of it has been there from very early, 10.4 or something like that. But, as far as I remember the problems didn't really start to manifest until 10.13..? Each version since then added more and more restrictions and made it harder and harder to get around. I d...

For the 11th time: It's not whether it's 3rd party or not, it's whether the developers have paid Apple to get one of their signing keys to sign the application. Anybody can make software that is signed with an Apple key, you can even make malware that is signed with an Apple key. It just comes down ...

Sorry, but that's wrong. Gatekeeper is what prevents your from starting applications. Regarding the "Anywhere" for allowed applications, it's just about where you download them. The requirement for Apple signing still applies.

I can pretty much guarantee that the file isn't corrupt (to make absolutely sure, just redownload it or download an earlier version). The point is that this is the message Apple uses when a file doesn't have an Apple signature, so I'm 99% sure this is the issue. There's actually no way for macOS to ...

No, I assumed as much. That's why I said that you'd have to search (Google or similar). The problem is generic for your macOS version, and applies to all software that don't pay Apple. The software component that enforces this is called "Gatekeeper" (or at least is was in previous versions...

It's the same old "Gatekeeper protection" for programs that aren't signed by an Apple key. I don't know what the workaround is in the latest versions of macOS, but it used to be as easy as right-clicking and selecting "open" back in the day. Search and you shall find, this applie...

Let's try to separate "the cache" (the caching of parsed media information) from the "media library" (database query based organization of media items). The cache is essential for speeding up browsing, and I can think of no "conflict" between the cache function and rend...

I'm sorry for the "misinformation" if the settings are still in the GUI. I haven't tested any later versions, so all I have to go by is what I read - and it has been my understanding that they had been hidden. I've had to help other users find the setting to disable it in PMS.conf, and tha...
