I tested that on MacOS 12 yesterday with the 'any crap you like' turned ON, as I posted, with the result I posted.

Thanks for those Paul. That "spctl --master-disable" was what I'd used in the 'Read me first' applescript.
It at least verifies that I've (finally) got the right end-of-the stick on this, as it confirms what I've been using.
I've made a GUI of sorts to codesign things for us (it's a stack which does all these shell commands as needed).
Example with no code signing:

Example after code signing:

- signed.png (105.29 KiB) Viewed 867 times
Testing on Monterey:

Where was that post please? I can't find what your result was. (do you mean
this?)
After you launched the 'Read this first' and turned on "Allow apps to run from anywhere" - did you then try
re-opening the build I sent you labelled 'Monday' with the 'Experimental' text stamped over the icon? The result of that is what I'm waiting to see (
which I mentioned here) - no point releasing v1.04 with this while it's known to be broken.
Pretty sure I solved it though, as I've now tested it on 6 different macs in total, running Mac OS X 10.9 > MacOS 10.15, and MacOS 12.7 without losing any images...
Edit:
confirmed working on various MacOS versions as of Friday 3/5/24 (
video)
Fix detailed in the
release notes under v1.04

I have had 'Allow' turned on ever since I bought that computer.

Wow, that's great, should be very handy. I have some drag and drop utility that does ad-hoc code signing, but having fine control and having it as a stack to use directly within the IDE is just wonderful, Thanks for your work!
