Matthias: I tried the command in the shell It didn’t work as shown in the status field. I then switched to superuser, with the password, and it ran the following without complaint. xattr -cr "/Users/prothero/Oceanography Projects/LiveCode-RunRev Projects/1-AA-Current Projects/PT_Explorer Projects/EarthExplorer_CurrentWkg-D4/EExp Builds/Earth Explorer2/Earth Explorer.app"
Weird: I entered the command as you suggested below, and it asked for a password, as expected. BUT, it didn’t recognize the password I put in. Then I just did an SU command, it asked for the password and recognized my password. Then the action worked. I’m on OS 12.1 (Apple). My shell password has a dollar sign, 2 numbers and 2 capital letters. Could that be the problem? —This is the shell/terminal text: WProtherosMBP4:~ prothero$ sudo -S xattr -cr "/Users/prothero/Oceanography Projects/LiveCode-RunRev Projects/1-AA-Current Projects/PT_Explorer Projects/EarthExplorer_CurrentWkg-D4/EExp Builds/Earth Explorer2/Earth Explorer.app" Password: Sorry, try again. WProtherosMBP4:~ prothero$ sudo -S xattr -cr "/Users/prothero/Oceanography Projects/LiveCode-RunRev Projects/1-AA-Current Projects/PT_Explorer Projects/EarthExplorer_CurrentWkg-D4/EExp Builds/Earth Explorer2/Earth Explorer.app" Password: Sorry, try again. But this worked: WProtherosMBP4:~ prothero$ su Password: sh-3.2# I changed the shell pw to all lower case alphabetical letters. Same issue.When I entered the shell first, entering the same password, it worked. The command below didn’t. It asked me for the password and when I entered it, it refused. Hmm.. odd. WProtherosMBP4:~ prothero$ sudo -S xattr -cr "/Users/prothero/Oceanography Projects/LiveCode-RunRev Projects/1-AA-Current Projects/PT_Explorer Projects/EarthExplorer_CurrentWkg-D4/EExp Builds/Earth Explorer2/Earth Explorer.app" Password: Sorry, try again.
