Force App not to run maximized,also bypassing security for downloaded.

[MigC]

Hi, not sure if this is the right place,but here it goes:

I found this fork of Materialize in GitHub: https://github.com/fouman75/Materialize/tree/osx

Download here: https://github.com/fouman75/Materialize/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.1

I believe it went largely unnoticed and its a great App to generate materials for 3D and their corresponding Height Maps and such but has a few caveats, although it works in my older Mac Pro 2013 it doesnt in my iMac 2019 (same OS 12.6.3) probably because of secure boot (?) and being unsigned, something like that.

Its a bit old but it works (in older MacPro), I guess getting the original poster to change it would be quite hard. Although I run dual monitors that when set to have their own spaces lessens the problem but its a bit anoying that App defaults to maximized windows screen, is there any way it can be forced to run on a window?

Also, is there any way to run it in my iMac without disabling secure boot?

Ty in advance.

Nothing to do with Secure Boot.
If you placed the app in /Applications run from Terminal

chmod +x /Applications/Materialize.app/Contents/MacOS/Materialize

to make the binary executable.
Then

open /Applications/Materialize.app

or just right-click and open from Finder.

Really?Tks.Will try it later today, just confused as to why on my work MacPro just had to drag and drop App to applications and on iMac doesnt work.

Now just need to find how to force it not to run on a maximized window.
