Gatekeeper and updated apps #203

I don't know if this is the right place for the query - it might be an issue with Homebrew itself - so forgive me if it is.

I installed this a couple of weeks ago, and notice that after updating, every time the app is first opened, gatekeeper catches it and verifies the file, then asks if I want to open it as it was downloaded from the internet. As I have a few scripts which call apps, they now timeout unless I remember to click to close the box pretty quickly. (NB - I've done the terminal command to enable software to be opened from anywhere is the Privacy Prefpane)

So, is there a way to ensure that apps updated via this tool open without quarantining, as they do when updated from within an app itself directly?

This issue is common for Homebrew Cask, you may want to put a string export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--no-quarantine" in your shell profile. Also, you may reset Gatekeeper quarantine flag for all installed casks by reinstalling all of them by brew ls --cask | xargs brew reinstall --cask in a new terminal tab with aforementioned variable set.

@theboyler did that solve your issue? Can we close this then?
