Re: Downloaded 4D app: structure file in read only mode

Thanks a lot, Tim. This worked for me. My app is unsigned. (I do not have an Apple Developer ID) My "App" when it appeared after being "unzipped" happens to sit in a folder with some other files. The zipped file is a folder with the App and a couple other files. That just happens to be how

Doug, That sounds correct. Did you tick both boxes? http://www.4dsupport.guru/images/CompactAddressTable.png Personally I stopped doing that I kept losing too many .jpgs that way :( Regards, Wayne Wayne Stewart about.me/waynestewart On 15 November 2016 at 12:38, Douglas von Roeder

It's the little things (ordering parameters)

For those of you that pass parameters, order can matter. It's been, what, 30 years now I've been using 4D (!) and I *still* have to double-check Position and Find in array Position(Needle;Haystack) Find in array(Haystack;Needle) So, just thinking, be kind to yourself...find a pattern and follow

v12 - easy way to rename many methods at once?

I what to rename a number of methods. the 'module' prefix is no longer valid/desired I would like to change the names of all the methods at once, rather then having to rename them 1 at a time. Thanks Chip ** 4D Internet Users

Have I read this correctly? If I write a small standalone app, for a friend, zip it and send it to him, At some time in the future, there will be an Mac OS version which will say the equivalent of "I'm sorry Dave, I cant let you do that". Has the world of Apple gone mad? -pm On Mon, Nov 14, 2016

I should have also highlighted this quote from: "Starting with macOS Sierra, running a newly-downloaded app from a disk image, archive, or the Downloads directory will cause Gatekeeper to isolate that app at a unspecified read-only location in the filesystem. This will prevent the app from

RE: Downloaded 4D app: structure file in read only mode

Starting with 10.12.x Sierra, if you download an app.zip and unzip it then run it from the Downloads directory, Apple will quarantine the app into a Read-Only environment. Solution is to move it to the /Applications/ directory after unzipping it. Kind Regards, Tim PENNER

Re: Downloaded 4D app: structure file in read only mode

I did look at this because I thought that the problem might be here but not. In this regard (Sharing & Permissions) the "quarantined" and the "non-quarantined" versions of the zip file are the same. There is another section in the Get Info panel -- "More Info" where there is a bit of

Re: Downloaded 4D app: structure file in read only mode

If you don't mind an installer package rather than a Zip, this got around that problem for me. It requires your Apple developer number (ABC...). I run the app at least once from the Applications folder, and make no resource folder, etc... changes after that. Then run this from the terminal.
