Thanks, David.

I have mine set to “Anywhere”, which I would imagine is a superset of “App Store and identified developers”, but I still get the prompt.

I mount and open the DMG, then drag the App into the Applications folder, opting to overwrite the existing copy. As far as I can tell, there’s no need to “select all” and copy.

(Presumably you use <Cmd>-a and <Cmd>-v on your Mac, not the CTRL-A etc?)
