File Open Dialog triggers "Allow Incoming Connections" firewall dialog everytime on OSX.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select File -> Open.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When the File Open dialog appears, I get two requests to "Allow Incoming
Connections" from the Apple Firewall.  They appear and disappear in about
1-1.5s each while the Open File Dialog is open.  Closing the dialog and
reopening exhibits the same behavior.  Timing the mouse to click on "Allow"
doesn't prevent this from happening.  I confirmed that XMind is set to
"Allow incoming connections" in SysPrefs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XMind v.3.0.3.  Mac OSX 10.6.2, Snow Leopard.

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm not 100% confident, but I believe that this behavior started after a
recent update (to either OSX or XMind).

Please download and try the latest version, v3.1.1. 
I never meet this kind thing. Strange

Looks like this is not an issue with XMind per se.  After upgrading to v.3.1.1 
it
still occurred, but I noticed it in another app now as well.  After digging a 
bit, I
found this:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2087017&start=15&tstart=30

"
Explanation: Mac OS X automatically checks applications for signatures when
establishing application-specific firewall rules. This way, if the application
changes for whatever reason (or becomes compromised), the application will not 
match
the signature that the firewall is aware of. If, for any number of reasons, 
iTunes
(or any other app) becomes altered, the signature will not match the original 
one the
firewall recognizes. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes will correct the 
problem.

Technical stuff: Technically speaking, the problem exists with the signature of 
the
application, not the application itself. Generating a new signature will also 
correct
the problem. However, there should be a reason as to why the application does 
not
match its signature (eg corruption). This is why a reinstallation is 
recommended."

So I ran:
"codesign -v /Applications/XMind.app"

And it seems like the confirm dialogs have stopped. I'll let you know if they 
return.
 Thanks much for your help guys.
