This is only an issue on the Mac.. Gnucash on the Mac does not handle the
open signal. Part of the problem is that it is an asynchronous signal so
gnucash would have to handle it at any time. It could arrive too early or
too late in the startup sequence..
All other platforms handle double clicking on a gnucash file fine.

John,
I know you and the other developers are doing huge service to the rest of
us with your work. I truly wish I had the skills that allowed me to help
with this; years of attempts have shown me that this is beyond me, however.
Thank you all.

In case we want a formal definition of the behavior desired << let's see
if we have agreement about that >>
a) Make gnucash "transitive" instead of "intransitive" ---- in other
words, let it take an "object", file to be opened (books to be opened).
Right now it does not do this, only appears to for those users who have
only one set of books. In other words, they may click on an object (that
is a file ending in .gnucash) and see the action "gnucash opens with
this file" but that is not really what is happening. Instead, gnucash is
ignoring the object and simply starting. If starting "file" (default)
then the last file that was open or if "nofile" then without any file
open << the "file" button will bring up the selection list and allow one
of those to be opened or any other name that is typed in >>
Then people with several sets of books would just have objects (for
each on their desktop) assuming that they do that << I don't, just
applications on the desktop >> or they go to the directory (file folder)
where these files live and click on which they want.
b) When opened without an object could be current behavior. It would be
nice though to allow an easier way to change the default behavior.
