Workaround for "Unidentified Developer" message in Mavericks



In an effort to prevent nefarious apps from launching, Apple started blocking apps from launching that were from an "unidentified developer".  After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, this annoying error message prevented me from launching FileZilla, ScreenFlow, a Samsung Printer Driver installer, and other apps.

If you get this irritating and potentially work-blocking message, there is an easy way to bypass it.

Right on the App that the will not open (from the Dock or the Applications folder) and choose Open.  A different dialog window will appear that will still ask you to confirm you want to open the open, but will allow the app to open.
