Annoying Dialog Box when opening Archicad

Ted Taylor — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:49:44 GMT

Anytime I open Archicad from the finder, I get the Dialog box shown below. The setting in the Firewall pane is set to accept incoming network. Anyone else getting this.

Does not appear to do any harm, but it is annoying.

Same thing. Would love to know how to get rid of it.

I know it has to do with the firewall settings under "Security & Privacy".
Sometimes adding the app to the "Firewall Options" makes it stop asking.

Doesn't stop the prompts though.

In the past (pre-Mavericks), you wouldn't be asked again. The problem then, was that all versions of AC were just called "ArchiCAD" - so if you launched Archicad 15 and then 16 - you would be prompted by the firewall because it would detect that the Archicad.app for 16 was different from the one previously 'approved' for 15 (etc).

Not, Graphisoft has named the app Archicad 17.app so it can have its own entry in the firewall table. But, even with it there, the firewall prompt for AC (as well as QT) happens on every launch. I have to assume that this is an Apple issue with Mavericks and not a GS one, but don't know... since Ted is on Mountain Lion, this may be a GS issue after all...

Oops. I need to update profile. I'm on 10.9.1 too.

I am also on 10.9.1 and this pesky dialog box appears each time I open ArchiCAD even though ArchiCAD 17 is set to allow incoming connections in the Firewall settings.
