b84c380aaaShort description of error
If you double click a .blend file in Finder, and do nothing afterwards, blender will take focus, show splash screen + the cube scene for a moment and then show the contents of the file you wanted to open.
But if you steal focus from Blender before it launches (and give it to Finder) using the steps given below, if never moves past the default scene.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Since this doesn't happen if
, I couldn't get the logs. So you'd have to try it yourself.

@WilliamReynish @Sergey can you guys reproduce this?
I am a bit confused here. What is "scene in file" ?
Opening Blender from finder without providing any file is supposed to open default startup setup for that Blender version (will be factory settings first time, or your saved startup if you import it from previous Blender or save it again in a newer version).
If you are using RC1 dmg bundle consider re-downloading it. We had an issue with signature in the original version which is now fixed.
No, it’s not that
What i mean that it doesn’t open blender file. It starts blender with default scene, but not opening file.
If blender is already launched — yes, it loads file. But if blender is quit, and then you tries to open blender file from finder — it just launches blender with default scene
By opening Blender from Finder, what of the following you mean:
I mean opening .blend file from finder.
I can record video tomorrow (today I can’t) to show exactly what i mean
Added subscriber: @ArtoKitula
Think i understand what you mean now.
Unfortunately, i can not reproduce the issue. Tried RC1 DMG and buildbot's ZIP.
Maybe @WilliamReynish or @ArtoKitula will be more lucky here.
Strangely, I cannot reproduce it either (with July 2 build or recent RC1)
I didn't make it up (I have no reason to do so :)
But it is strange...
Close this topic, if the issue comes back, I will create a new thread with video that time :)
Thank you, guys!
Well, this bug happens 1 out of 10 times, but it's really unpredictable and hard to catch...
You may open 20 .blend files fine, and then open other .blend file and this happens....

probably fixed plz check if it happens in official 2.81 version if yes make new bug report
Why closing this task before I've checked it? I could do that (closing issue) myself then if everything fine...
Also, I added in info version that I've tested with video: 2.81 beta 2019-11-11
And nope — it STILL present.
I am encountering this bug almost every time I open .blend file...

@MaciejJutrzenka Please stop closing issues, just because it might be fixed in 2.81. Take a look at the Blender Bug Triaging Playbook.
We can't reproduce this on our side still.
I'm not doubting that you have this issue, but until we can reproduce this on our side, there is not much we can do.
@rjg i couldn't reproduce it i allways check. before closeing is the bug valid. i couldn't find tracker that fixed it that is why i closed it with such post. the bug report was very old.
Phew, thanks. Closed new duplicate :)
(Obviously) I will wait as much as needed. If you need some info (with steps how to gather it) I can give it :)
hmm the longer i think about this maybe this is MAC system related stuff? do you have maybe some strict permissions?
I didn't modified Mac OS files, System Integrity Protection is enabled (never was disabled).
I have Gatekeeper disabled though, but that couldn't be a problem...
Or you mean something else?
I will download blender 2.79 to test it again...
Downloaded and tested with Blender 2.79 — same bug as with 2.80 and 2.81...
This IS strange, because on 2.79 I didn't encountered it before I tried 2.80 beta...
This indeed could be OS-related, but reinstalling OS right now is probably not an option for me...
u okey with closeing this bug then? as it seams really OS related stuff.
Changed status from 'Open' to: 'Archived'
Would NOT put it in archive though...
Any suggestions what I can do with my OS except clean install?
(I know it's not forum for help, but there is always a probability someone like me still can encounter such bug...)

We do not close bugs just because they are specific to one operating system.
Sorry, didn't know that.
I can test this bug as long as you will ask me.
The following text if off-topic for the actual bug report but relevant for the process of triaging on the bug tracker.
@MaciejJutrzenka Good to hear that you tried to reproduce this first, that wasn't clear from your original comment. Some bugs are difficult to reproduce though, since they are specific to an operating system, hardware or driver version. Just because it doesn't occur on your system doesn't mean that the bug is nonexistent.
If the bug report is incomplete and cannot be reproduced by you and other users, the creator of the report cannot provide additional information that allow to reproduce it (upon request) and the report has been inactive for more than 7 days, then you may close it as
Archived(Update: Invalid is the correct status, since the tracker curfew ). If you close a ticket please give a reason*why// it was closed, otherwise it's needlessly frustrating for the user that created the report. Stating that it may be fixed in 2.81 is not a good reason (since it may as well contain the same bug). You can ask them to test it with the most recent version and close the ticket if the issue doesn't occur for them anymore.I know that English is not the first language of many users on this platform, but please try to write proper sentences and avoid (internet) slang, (e.g. plz, u, lack of capitalization and punctuation). This helps with the readability and looks a bit more professional.
If you have questions about the triaging process on the bug tracker feel free to ask questions on DevTalk . I hope we can see valuable contribution from you in the future.

@linosia, do you still see this issue?
Yes, still present with current 2.81.
Happens 2 out of 10 times, mostly when Mac is restarted (so NO blender.app loaded...).
When Right-Click-Mouse and choose "open with" -- it loads correctly with proper scene.
But after restarting OS and just clicking on file in finder (no "open with") -- it still loads default scene...

Is this still an issue with 2.83
Yes
And it is still annoying (especially when opening multiple .blend's)

Hello. I've been using Blender for about 6 months now on Ubuntu. The OS just pushed some updates and now I am having the same issue as described, but a little worse maybe. If I double click on a .blend file it always opens to the default cube scene and does not get past it. I can however choose my .blend file from the splash screen or through the open menu and it will load the project. This unfortunately prevents me from using mikeykal's rendering script to do multi-core rendering becuase the same problem happens when opening a .blend file through the command line. What info do you need from me to help get this fixed? Single core rendering is painfully slow.
@cleveroctopus that seems more similar to #77443 (Ubuntu: Opening .blend files opens a new file) & its duplicate blender/blender-addons#77467 (Blend Files open as default Startup Splash Menu.)
This one is macOS specific.
Yes, #77443 is exactly the behavior I'm seeing. I would somewhat argue that the two behaviors are so similar that it is probably the same cause. At any rate, should I make another post in #77443?
