All files open to static, then I get a crash report dialogue #338

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download Xee3RC2
2. Extract zip to downloads folder
3. Run Xee
4. Open any image file, JPG, GIF, PNG have been tested

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Image should be rendered, but instead I get a properly sized window with only 
what looks like TV static (animated), and the correct image file name in the 
title bar. A few seconds later, I get a system crash report that says "Xee3 
quit unexpectedly." If I use <> to move to another image in the folder, I get a 
new crash report dialogue every time I change images. In the status bar it has 
a warning symbol and "Loader crashed."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 3.0 RC 2 (16)
Mac OSX 10.8.3 (Build 12D78)

Please provide any additional information below.

Note: The application remains open after the crash dialogue appears.

You have probably in the past disabled the quarantine dialog in OS X, and thus 
the program will not get extracted correctly. You either have to turn it back 
on and re-extract, or you have to clear the quarantine attributes by hand.

This only happens when distributing as a zip file, so it won't affect the app 
store version.

I attempted to resolve this issue by doing what I think you meant:
I turned off the Quarantine functionality with this command, then restarted: 
defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO

Then I ran this to allow the files in ~/Downloads:
xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads

Then I trashed and re-axtracted Xee3RC2.zip, then ran the previous command 
again.

This did not fix the issue. Any advice?

I also went into System Preferences>Security&Privacy> Allow applications 
downloaded from:
and set it to "Anywhere".
I did this before the restart.

You need to set LSQuarantine to YES, actually. Or you can useo the xattr 
command, but do it *after* extracting Xee.

Ah, I thought I was doing it afterward as well but I messed up in doing so at 
some point. It works now, but there is still a flash of static before loading 
the image. A different bug, I suppose.

No, that's just showing that it's loading.

Ah, okay. In that case I'll just say that I think black is better than static 
because the static is really distracting/jarring. Just my opinion though ;)
