Remove Quarantine — Delete the quarantine attribute from app bundles and files

the slow part is the xattr call which is taking 0.023 seconds per app on my machine

 

That does seem slow. On an M1 with the time command I see 0.004 seconds but if I test with something more granular I can see the true number is closer to microseconds, even for apps with quarantining.

If you do which xattr in a Terminal, do you get /usr/bin/xattr or something else?

[gingerbeardman]

Oh, good catch. I see /opt/homebrew/bin/xattr

 

And I have no idea why

 

I was almost done parallelising and the run time had reduced from 23 seconds to 3.5 seconds

Try version 2024.1, just released, which forces /usr/bin/xattr.

Thanks! rq now takes 1.5 seconds on my machine.

 

I guess a parallelised version might be even quicker? Of course, it's not necessary at this point but perhaps would be a fun exercise to realise an approach that might be able to be applied to other workflows.

 

Cheers

Here's my parallel version, execution time is 0.58s
