[Github-comments] [geany/geany-osx] MacOS open from Finder (#13)

[JanAxelsson]

Some tests I did, which I hope can be useful.

It seems as if the mechanism used by MacOS Catalina is broken (3-5 below) whereas bash or zsh (1) and drag-into-app (2) works as expected.

Furthermore, adding output to log-file in /Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany reveals that the geany bash script is only called in cases that works.  That is, it is a launching problem, not wrong in the bash script.

List of tests :
----------------- 

1 WORKS adding files into open Geany: 
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany /Users/jan/Documents/test1.txt
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany /Users/jan/Documents/test2.txt

2 WORKS adding files into open Geany: 
Drag files into open Geany

3 ONLY WORKS IF Geany is closed:
open -a Geany /Users/jan/Documents/test1.txt

4 ONLY WORKS IF Geany is closed:
Double-click file 

5 ONLY WORKS IF Geany is closed:
Right-click Open With

Frankly I have no idea what could be wrong - I've tried various things without much success. The output inside the Console app isn't very helpful either. It's also possible it's a Catalina bug but no idea really.
