Can someone help me figure out why every time I launch iPhoto, the Leopard firewall prompts me to choose whether or not I want to allow or deny access for this application to accept incoming network connections...regardless of the fact that every single time, I choose 'Allow'? Here's a screenshot of the exact prompt that appears:



I've checked the Leopard firewall configuration in the 'Security' preference pane (which is obviously configured to "Set Access for Specific Services and Applications", and sure enough, iPhoto appears in the list with the 'Allow Incoming Connections' setting chosen....but it still asks me every time if I want to allow or deny connections, and I can't figure out how to make it stop asking??

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

Just figured out how to do it...

1) Quit iPhoto (if running)
2) Open System Preferences and remove iPhoto from the list of allowed apps
3) Relaunch iPhoto and click "Allow"

That did it for me!
