….seems like we DO need more text-editors in mac-land so there is the next:

So if you dont like TextWrangler, TextMate, Smultron, Text Edit …….check that one out.
Quote from the project page:

Apple has included a, lets call it strange, security feature in 10.5
Basically they flag files you have donwloaded from the web as quarantined. This means a dialog pops up the first time you launch/execute or whatever this file.
In some special cases this behavior could repeat itself with each file launch, but thats not the supposed way. It should only happen if the re-flag as un-quarantined does not work.
But back to the main topic. While this feature could make sense for usual users it just annoys me personally.
I was searching and finally found this article at http://henrik.nyh.se
A Vista-esque feature of OS X Leopard is that it tags web downloads (not just from Safari) as such and then warns you about running downloaded apps or scripts. Archived (e.g. zipped) files inherit the tag from their tagged container.

This is an annoyance to power users. Luckily, being a power user, I can do something about it.

Solution is based on Apple Script and Action Scripting/Folder Actions
