Downloads using Chrome or Firefox are not affected.
This is an Apple bug, and has apparently been around for a while (macrumors discussion here).
Suggested fix:
I think we should zip both the executable Podo as well as Podo.app before uploading to the release page. The .zip extension should prevent ".dms" being added where it shouldn't, and users can just unzip it after downloading and run the file.
Zipping the executable will probably also preserve the file permissions (whereas downloading a bare file tends to give you rw-r--r-- permissions by default, it seems.
Safari downloads of the Podo executable file from the release page: https://github.com/monashmicroimaging/podocytes/releases end up having a weird ".dms" extension added to the file name (which shouldn't have an extension).
