			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here’s an annoyance.  Having just installed <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergykm">SynergyKM</a>, a great front-end for the awesome command-line utility <a href="http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/">Synergy</a>, launching it would result in the following prompt:</p>
<div id="attachment_75" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://blog.slaunchaman.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-3.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-75" title="Synergyd Prompt" src="http://blog.slaunchaman.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-3.png" alt="The promt you get when launching SynergyKM" width="500" height="242" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The promt you get when launching SynergyKM</p></div>
<p>To fix this, you need to remove the extended attribute <em>com.apple.quarantine</em> that’s on the file.  Fire up Terminal and enter the following commands:</p>
<blockquote><p><tt>sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/PreferencePanes/SynergyKM.prefPane/Contents/Resources/Synergyd.app<br />
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/PreferencePanes/SynergyKM.prefPane/Contents/Resources/Synergyd.app/Contents/MacOS/Synergyd</tt></p></blockquote>
<p>That will remove the flags and prevent the prompt.</p>
<p>Normally, you’d only see this prompt once, but since installing it for all users changes permissions such that your user account can’t remove the attribute, it isn’t removed.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This is assuming that you’ve installed it for all users.  If you’ve installed it for one user, it’ll be in ~/Library, not /Library.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> I’ve submitted a patch to SynergyKM’s SourceForge page, so if they accept it this will no longer be an issue.</p>
