Allow.app : unlock quarantined mac apps
=======================================
Execute, select the app / document you want to be unlocked.
Unfortunately Drag & drop is prevented if the app is locked.
Problem
-------
Mountain Lion's security model is great, it protects you from
unadvertently executing rogue applications. You know it's coming, there
is a but: developers need to pay Apple $99 to get a certificate, which
is fine unless you develop free apps.
Usually you can right-click the app, click on Open and it unlocks the
app but it doesn't always work.
Allow.app gives you a way to selectively unlock quarantined apps, the
ones coming from people you trust.
Installation
------------
Chicken and egg issue right ? Download the archive, unpack and
right-click on the Allow app. Drag to your application folder.
About
-----
Made with Automator.
The heart of the script boils down to
`find $INPUT -exec xattr -d com.apple.quarantine {} \;`
