Re: Open File problem
Dear Stephan, you've nailed it. I finally could pinpoint the problem to opening files in windows, instead of in tabs. Nevertheless, I opened Lyx from command line to see if some message appears when I tried to open another file, but nothing showed up. Again, my wife's computer is using Mavericks and her Lyx is 2.1.2.2 Can anyone confirm this bug, so I can file it? If not, do you have another idea about why this problem is appearing? Thanks in advance.

Can someone check if this is so? I cannot confirm this. I tried it on Yosemite and on a Apple Mavericks server. Another think you can try is to change the preference for opening documents: you may try to open documents in tabs instead of new window. Just an idea...

Re: Open File problem
Dear all, My wife just told me that the problem is also present in 2.1.2.2. It appears when a document is already open, ie, if a document is open and you try to open another file from the menu, a new empty document window pops up, then closes, with no dialog to open a file. Can someone check if this is so? Regards, - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 4:15 PM, Julio Rojas wrote: > Done.

I'd propose to make a copy of the 2.1.1 and try if it is better with 2.1.2 or 2.1.2.2. The fixes for Yosemite doesn't harm on Mavericks. The open file problem is not related to the Yosemite problems. I cannot remember what the reason was and how it was fixed. Stephan

Open File problem
Dear LyXers, My wife has LyX 2.1.1 under OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks). When she tries to open a file, LyX pops a new LyX document up, which is immediately closed. No Open File dialog is shown. The same happens with New From Template. Is there a way to diagnose (and fix) this problem? Is it related to the Yosemite problems arising left and right? I wouldn't like to upgrade to Yosemite and thus to 2.1.1.2, unless it would be totally unavoidably, as remote user support is not my strong feature, and she would be left in dire straits. Thanks in advance. Regards, - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com
