LyX start every time as a new application

I use LyX and I installed last version 2.3.5.2 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7.

Whenever I launch the application the system shows a progress bar saying 'Verifico "Lyx.app"...' (this is Italian, in English it should read something like 'Verifying "Lyx.app"...' or 'Checking "Lyx.app"...').

After that a window pops-up saying '"Lyx.app" è un'applicazione scaricata da internet. Confermi di volerla aprire?' (that translated is '"Lyx.app" is an application downloaded from internet. Do you confirm you want to open it?'), and I answer "yes".

This behavior is OK for the first run, but it repeats every time I launch the application, and seems more a problem of macOS than a problem of Lyx. Can someone help?


Solution 1:

I finally realized that the folder /Applications/LyX.app/ didn't have write permissions not even for the proprietary user, differently from all other *.app folders in /Applications, so the execution of the command

chmod +w /Applications/LyX.app

solved the problem.
