System Information
Operating system: macOS-14.2.1-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Metal API AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 1.2

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.2, branch: blender-v4.0-release, commit date: 2023-12-05 07:41, hash: 9be62e85b727
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Doubleclicking my .blend-Files opens the App but doesn' t open the File. So the App opens in my personal default scene, and doesn't open the file.
I have installed several instances of Blender (3.65, 3.68, 4.02). Happened with all of them. Deinstalled an Dre-installed - same problem. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I opened the same .blend-Files with different and alternating versions of Blender?
(When I open the file by clicking File/Open/ selecting the file: it opens as expected.)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

Hi, thanks for the report. Could be related to the OS or settings of file browser.
#66722 looks relevant

Could it have to do something with Alpha versions being used at the same time like stable versions?

I don't think so.

Hi, can you open .blend file from command line?: blender file_path/example.blend or with blender --factory-startup file_path/example.blend

Does this happen with specific .blend file? Could it be that the file is corrupted?

Hi,
when I do with Terminal-App this: "blender file_path/example.blend" it tells this:
"Last login: Sun Feb 4 13:58:22 on console
Admin@MBP-von-F ~ % /Users/Admin/Desktop/test.blend
zsh: permission denied: /Users/Admin/Desktop/test.blend".

"blender --factory-startup file_path/example.blend" I don't really know how to do this, ..I cannot find the startup file, maybe you would need to help me with more step by step instructions.

The bug happens with all .blend files.

Re file_path/example.blend: You have to specify real file path of some .blend file which is causing the problem

"blender --factory-startup file_path/example.blend" I don't know how to do this

Just have to execute command as it is. (this will skip interference of add-ons/plugins and loads blender with default settings)

@iss , any idea what could cause this? Not sure if this is platform specific problem.

I changed the file name of the Blender executable file in my Programs directory from "Blender" to "Blender 3-68" and the other one to "Blender 4-02" to distinguish them (and to be able to open several instances of blender at the same time to copy and paste from one running blender session to another running blender session).
Maybe that re-naming causes problems? But if I remember well, I have deinstalled all blender versions and reinstalled a single one and still the same problem occurred.

While I do have Mac machine, I have no idea how it manages filetypes and how it calls Blender. I always drag .blend file to active window, because I don't trust, that doubleclick on file will do open version I want.

That sounds like something I would imagine causing issues... Can you try renaming them back?

Renaming Blender executable didn't help.

Also I didn't know your hint with opening blender and then drawing a projectile into the window. This brought me to the idea to remove the add-on called "drag&drop" - and since then: it works again!!!!! For my both versions 3.68 and 4.02. I`m so relieved. Thanks for your help!!! You somehow brought me on the right path to solve the issue. Thanks so much.

Good to know. Guess we can close the report then.
