Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that File Quarantine be merged into Gatekeeper (macOS). File Quarantine is currently almost a stub and has very little substance. Given that Gatekeeper pretty much covers the same ground and is the bigger topic to begin with, I think that it would make more sense to redirect File Quarantine to this article and simply flesh the part about the extended file attribute and the “known-malware list" a bit out.–Totie (talk) 15:05, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected the article to this one and incorporated most of the information here.–Totie (talk) 19:48, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Workaround still working[edit]

Functions > Configuration > Anywhere describes a hidden workaround. Is this still working under latest macOS, or in which version was it barred? -- Frau Holle (talk) 14:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
