Re: Blue Griffon won't open file when icon is dropped on top of Blue Griffon icon (in Finder OR dock)

I had no problem doing what you suggested in OS X 10.8.3. Check this out - http://www.macusenet.com/archive/index-t-66217.html

Hi.  As the subject says, Blue Griffon doesn't open an html file when I drop the file's icon on top of the Blue Griffon icon

I have just started to put any real milage on BG and when I upgraded to V1.7 (B:20130513094916) I noticed this behaviour start.

It *had* worked that when the OS was told to open an HTML file with BG, the file would open in the first tab, now it does not.

I did look at the logs and found that there seems to be some small complaint:

(No, it has nothing to do with application/filetype associations.)

I would turn on more logging in BG if I knew how.
I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)

Does this add any datapoints?

Also, I'm willing to try and troubleshoot/diagnose/experiment with it since nothing I'm doing with BG is critical.
(Still experimenting with it.)

FYI, This is a parallel problem with "double-click doesn't work with BlueGriffon 1.7" which seems to be on another OS.
