If I differently right click the same project file, and next, open with Audacity, it regularly opens in Audacity window.
I already assigned Audacity as default app to open every aup file in finder info window.
Anybody out there facing same issue?
Yes I can reproduce that in 2.1.3, if Audacity is not already running. If it is not already running, right-click > "Open with" also does not open the project. It looks like it could be an issue new to 2.1.3, because 2.1.2 opens the project on Audacity launch if set as the default app.
So, launch Audacity first then it should be OK.
In case it is a Mac problem, you could try running this command in the Terminal:
- Code: Select all
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed -r -f -v -domain local -domain user -domain system
Then hold Option and right-click Finder in the Dock and choose Relaunch. This did not help the Audacity issue for me, but the command rebuilds the Launch Services database and fixes "Open with" hanging for minutes on "Fetching..." and it removes duplicate items of the exact same app version in "Open with" (another common Mac issue).
