Verifying progress bar on every file?

[abn0rmal]

Fixed in 10.11.4 Beta update (15E49a)

This was not fixed in the latest update, at least not for me.

I had to cmd + i on the file, go to the Open With section, change it to QuickTime Player, and then click Change All.

I recently updated to OSX 10.11 DP3.

Now, it seems whenever I open any file (binary or even media files), I get a prompt about "Verifying <filename>"

It eventually disappears after a few seconds, but it is quite annoying that it happens for every file.

Has anybody else seen this with El Capitan? Any way to get rid of it?

Yes I have and this is how i fixed it. By default quicktime plays the files in question of course I installed VLC and made that my default application, that is when it started, After setting the default player back to quick time it no longer happens but in order to open with VLC i just <CTRL> click or right click for double mouse button users and it no longer happens. I hope this helps.. good luck to you all...

Doesn't work. It is getting really irritating to start a movie.
Click and got to wait.
Hope future builds will solve this issue

It seems to have something to do with ownership.

I had the problem (10.12.4 beta 16E154a - I filed a Feedback Report), and fixed the permissions on a movie that was persistently causing this, and it fixed it. If I opened and then re-saved the file, it fixed it too - which makes sense as the neew file I guess had R+W permissions.

How did you fix the permissions? I would rather not open each file individually to fix.

I have this now on macOS 10.13, no beta version. Gatekeeper, File Vault and Firewall are off, even SIP is deactivated via the recovery console. Every .MKV file is being verified, very annoying. Anyone else?

 

[macpanzer]

Yes, it is happening here too on 10.13.
Extremely annoying.

There is a temporary solution without doing a clean installation:

A clean installation is not the fix. I have a clean installation of 10.13 and also the issues.
But it didn't start immediately with HS, but I think only since today (that's ~2 days after installingHS).

I have this as well, on every VLC file and I have everything disabled that should be. On 10.13.

I have this issue too since today again out of the blue with mkv files... Really annoying.

Do in terminal:
open -a [Your app here]

I know this is late.. Why should the OS *have* to verify media files? PDF I can sort of understand, since I suppose there's a possibility that someone could somehow make a "postscript virus". But I didn't think think media files had anything resembling "code" in them - just data that was decoded into images. How the heck *would* you encode executable code in that?
