reflectingme Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hi All Each time I download a MIDI file within Safari, regardless of if LPX is running or not, GarageBand always opens the MIDI file. Can someone advise please how I stop this happening? I don't want to open Garageband at all, unless I run the app, and this annoying 'feature' of Safari is very irritating. Can anyone advise please? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Choose Preferences > General in Safari and uncheck Open "safe" files after downloading. PS. This option is on by default but is a real concern security wise. Here's a recent exploit that was patched: GarageBand 10.1.6 Released February 13, 2017 Projects Available for: OS X Yosemite v10.10 and later Impact: Opening a maliciously crafted GarageBand project file may lead to arbitrary code execution Description: A memory corruption issue was addressed through improved memory handling.
