For some reason in Snow Leopard when you open a .nzb file in Safari it is marked as a quarantined file and gives the error “<filename>.nzb is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?”
Annoying, I searched a bit for how to get rid of it – I assumed it would be easy, an option to allow *.nzb but it is not. The two main options I found were to run an Automator script on the Downloads folder (this didn’t work for me) or edit a .plist file which also didn’t work.
Since I already use Hazel (great app btw) I made a script that can handle this for me, it marks the file as safe, opens it automatically with the default application, moves the .nzb file to the trash and makes a growl notification for me.
