Hi,


I updated my iMac (early 2008) to Mountain Lion and tried Astro IIDC 4.08 with my Flea3 firewire camera and it works. 4.08 appears not to be signed so I had to change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" setting to "Anywhere", found in the Security & Privacy tab of the System Preferences. After running Astro IIDC once I was able to set it back to "Mac App Store and identified developers".


Astro IIDC will NEVER be in the Apple Store nor can it ever be Signed.


You can not use QuickTime and Sand Boxed apps (a requirement for Lion and Mountain Lion) and can not access FireWire, USB (HID) or Thunderbolt if it's SandBoxed.


To Sign Astro IIDC, I basically have to remove PowerPC support, Remove all QuickTime Support (QTKit doens't have the low level access I need), and reduce the number of OSX versions I support to just Lion and higher.


So basically I kill off 2/3's of my meager Customer base just for that crap - ain't going to happen.
