The unarchiver Extract Permission #705

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The unarchiver still asks for permission to unzip files on desktop,  even if 
I've already extracted zipped files there. It cannot remember permission as it 
says.

Maybe I haven't made it clear. I always extract files on the desktop, and The 
Unarchiver asks me for permission every time , which is so annoying.

Try running "defaults delete cx.c3.theunarchiver" in a Terminal and see if that 
fixes it.

Hmm, this one is weird. It's some kind of bug, but it's triggered so seldom I 
can't reproduce it and figure out what is going on.

I am having the same issue, after updating the Unarchiver to the latest 
version, I have to confirm the folder to extract to every time, saying that the 
app doesn't have permission. This is even when extracting to the same folder 
again to test it,  I have to reapprove it.

I tried the delete command mentioned above, but that just reset the preference 
for where it wants to extract the archive (to the same directory or not), but 
didn't resolve the permissions issue.

Is there  anything else I can try? Worked find before that, it was just as of 
yesterday when I updated to the latest version.

Did you try to extract multiple times to the same folder after the delete?

It does appear to let me extract the same file twice to the same folder after 
only approving it once.

But is there no way to have it not ask for permission for every single folder? 
This is new to just this version, 3.9. Before yesterday, I don't recall every 
having to grant permission to extract.

That's an App Store limitation. If you want to get rid of it, get the legacy 
version from the homepage instead.

Version from homepage also asks permission for every folder. Solution is to 
remove code signature:

codesign -f -s - /Applications/The\ Unarchiver.app/Contents/MacOS/The\ 
Unarchiver

The App Store version from the home page does. The Legacy version should not. 
But yes, removing the signature probably also works.

Remove the signature worked for me

I am trying to remove the permission thingy completely. I tried the Terminal 
command, but I need Developer Tools installed and I don't want to put that on 
my mom's Mac.

I replaced the app with the one from the website and it still asks for 
permission. I appreciate all the security, but when I have to extract 160 
archives from different folders, it's a pain to allow it every time. Any 
suggestions? :)

You should get the legacy version from the web site, not the normal ones.

hey guys,

same problem here...
How do I remove the code signature?
I tried running "codesign -f -s - /Applications/The\ 
Unarchiver.app/Contents/MacOS/The\ Unarchiver" in the terminal. I didnt get any 
error but it also doesn´t seem to change anything. so how do I have to do this 
the right way?
many thanks for any help!
