When downloaded and then when opening first time new versions of KiCad software (9rc + 9 Night build) on Mac, this new message has start to show up. See picture. What is it? This seem like unsafe/not good. (some numbers in pic pixelated by me)
Is the project you are opening part of a Git repository? This is probably related to KiCad’s Git integration, which was recently enabled for everyone (it used to be gated behind a feature flag)
I don’t understand the question. I open the program with same project as opened in previous version when popup did not show. Please explain.
Can you show a screenshot of your KiCad project manager?
Not dangerous. But we will get it fixed so that it only pop up when trying to access stored secrets (passwords for remote git-based projects)
I do not know what you mean about passwords for remote git-base project. Can you explain?
its related to where you store your kicad projects. If they are on say github/gitlab or a personal gitea and there is a password associated with that account then that passwords is managed via git-credential-manager and since kicad has gone live with git integration it should only require a keychain unlock if you need to interact with git
Never none of my projejcts is stored there, so now I wonder why this system popup warning.
A bug and @Seth_h mentioned above it will be fixed as it should only appear when you need to unlock your keychains
Okay thank you I got very afraid of this.
