![]() ![]() It could have explained the situation, from Apple’s point of view, and perhaps required a few extra clicks to confirm. macOS doesn’t trust the user to make the right decision, so it acts as though there’s no choice. ![]() Apple decided that they don’t want you to run unsigned software, but they don’t want to (or realistically can’t) completely forbid it, so they provide an escape hatch but keep it hidden. In both cases, why doesn’t the alert tell you how to resolve the problem (if you do, in fact, trust the software)? In my view, this is poor design and essentially security through obscurity. When launching an app directly, the workaround is easier: you can Control-click and choose Open from the contextual menu. If you click it, you’re approving that app as something that’s okay to be launched. At the bottom of that tab, you should see some text similar to the warning you got in the dialog. Then open up the System Preferences app and navigate to the “Security and Privacy” section and the “General” tab. Try to export some images and get the warning dialog. You can tell the OS to let the app run, but it’s not obvious where to do that. “magick” is part of the ImageMagick graphics tool suite, a commonly used set of image manipulation tools as of today the developers haven’t signed it with a developer certificate from Apple, so Apple’s Gatekeeper will reject it. The first time I tried to publish new images to Flickr, Lightroom aborted and the OS put up a dialog warning me that the app “magick” isn’t signed and so it might be dangerous, so the OS wouldn’t let it launch.
