-===== See Also =====+(!) Note that in Sonoma, if the file has the quarantine bit security feature set (which you can check with the shell command `xattr -p com.apple.quarantine /​path/​to/​file`),​ then the system API used to open the file with an application will fail with error -128 (user canceled - presumably because the system API does not know how to ask permission). You can remove the security settings with the shell command `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /​path/​to/​file`.
  
-----+(!) Note that this is almost never the right action to use to launch an application. ​ Instead, use the [[action:​Activate_a_Specific_Application|Activate a Specific Application]] action, which will both launch and activate the application. ​ If you really want to use this action, ensure you select the Finder as the application to use to “open” the application ​otherwise the system may try to open the application as a document using some other application,​ which is highly unlikely to be what you want to do (except in very rare circumstances,​ like perhaps opening an application with a compression utility to compress it for network transport).
