Hi John, reading this I instantly created an Automator Shell Script which opens with “—nofile” when double clicked and with the file when I drop a file on it. After changing the file information too I can now double click on a .gnucash file to open it.
What’s the reason that we cannot implement this - or something similar - in the standard package?
