I have attached it here all zipped up.
Do the following to get it set up the first time:
1. download the zip and place it on your Desktop
2. Open Terminal.app and run the following commands:
cd
cd Desktop
ls -a@l UnQuarantineDroplet.app.zip
3. If you see com.apple.quarantine in the output from step 2 you should remove it before unzipping it by continuing with the following in the Terminal.app you opened for Step 2.
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine UnQuarantineDroplet.app.zip
4. Now you should be able to unzip it and place UnQuarantineDropet.app where you want it.
Once all set up, you would use it as follows:
Take a file, an app, or a folder of files that you have downloaded or been e-mailed, or texted, or copied from your camera or ...
THAT YOU ARE 100% SURE CAN BE TRUSTED
then you can drag and drop it on this droplet and it will remove the com.apple.quarantine extra attribute for you. Otherwise you are better off leaving them in place.
I do this for all epubs I download from MR's archive or official bookstores, photos from family and friends, all of my git repos where I am the repo's developer, and all apps downloaded from trusted sources like FireFox, LibreOffice, Sigil, etc.
If you ever want to verify that it worked, just copy the file to your Desktop and open Terminal.app and run the following commands:
cd
cd Desktop
ls -a@l YOURFILENAMEHERE
and verify that the com.apple.quarantine extra attribute is indeed gone.
By doing this you are circumventing some of Apple's security that way, but I do not like trusted software, photos, and epubs to be treated like pariah's by my own Desktop machine.
Ask if you have any questions.
This should not be needed for apps you download and install from the MacOS App Store.

I have not had time to use Sigil 1.9.0 much — which is also why haven't chimed in on the Search/Replace issue or test the test builds. But if I get any crash reports, I'll be sure to share.
