Hi all,

It unzips fine. The md5 of the zip is the same.

I move BaseX.app to my Applications folder, replacing BaseX 7.7.1

When I double click the app, a dialog box with the following message
appears:

"BaseX" is damaged and can't be opened.
You should move it to the Trash.

Clicking on the ? on the dialog box gives the following text:

The app has been modified or damaged

The app has been modified, and it’s code does not match the original signed
code. The app may be broken or corrupted, or it may have been tampered
with. If you feel that an app has been damaged or tampered with, you should
delete it by dragging it to the Trash.

Some apps and tools, such as AppleScript applications and some legacy
tools, modify themselves after signing. These types of apps cannot be
opened unless the Gatekeeper setting in Security & Privacy preferences is
set to Anywhere.

Open the General pane of Security & Privacy
preferences<x-help-script://com.apple.machelp/scpt/OpnPrefsBndID.scpt?com.apple.preference.security,General>

I attempted to open by right clicking and selecting open. This results in
the same message.

I modified my Security and Privacy preferences, changing "Allow apps
downloaded from" from "Mac App Store and identified developers" to
"Anywhere".

Upon doing that, the resulting dialog says:

"BaseX" is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you
want to open it?

If I click yes, it opens.

I distinctly recall in the recent past that if an app was unsigned, it
would prevent me from opening it the first time by double-clicking. If I
right clicked and selected open, it would say something about an
unidentified developer and I could open it.

I'm not sure if your app is signed or not - but the behavior is unlike any
other app I've encountered previously. Now, it could be that a recent
update to OS X changed the general behavior (OS X 10.9.1, Build 13B42), and
I just haven't experienced this before.

If you have any further questions, let me know.

Best,

Charles
