Bug Description
By default, the new Gatekeeper feature in OSX 10.8 does only allow to launch applications from te Apple app store or applications signed with a developer certificate. This affects all Mixxx version up to current trunk.
Workaround:
* Right- click on Mixxx.app in your Application folder
* Select OPEN from the mouse menu
* Press the OPEN button in the PopUp window
This must be repeated every time you launch Mixxx as it only temporary escalates the Mixxx privileges.
Workaround 2:
* Open the System Preferences
* Click the Security & Privacy icon and make sure you're under the General tab
* Click on the LOCK icon in the bottom left corner and enter your administrator name and password
* Under "Allow applications downloaded from:" choose "Anywhere".
This turns off Gatekeeper completely, something we could not recommend to the user.
Since Mixxx is listed in the app store, is there already a developer ID to sign the application?

I knew this was coming for months but failed to act on it, sorry. I have a valid Developer ID and know how to sign the packages, I just need someone to send me a package to sign and we can push it out if someone else coordinates the upload and mirroring. I know what to do, I just don't have very much time to spare at the moment (sorry!!!)
I can also sign the Windows packages too now...
