Hello!
I installed LyX 2.3.5 in June on my MacBook Air 13 (Catalina) and
noticed that I could not open files from the "Recent files" list in
the File menu. The program opened an empty document with the name of
the recent file. I could open old documents using the "Open.." choise
from the menu.
When I installed version 2.3.5.1 I hoped this behaiviour would have
been corrected, but now I could't even use the "Open..." choise. It
allways opens up an empty file with the name om the file that should
have opened. Same with version 2.3.5.2 that I installed today. For
some reason I can open the default Splash.lyx that sits on the "Recent
files"
I have backupped my Preferenses file and started up an default version
of LyX but the same behaviour continues. What could be the reason for
this? Have anyone had similar problems?
If you can open LyX from a terminal, with argument "-dbg files", you
might get more information. You can also do this by opening the
messages pane (View> Messages Pane) and activating "files" debug
messages. (Go to Settings on the pane, click "Selected" then choose
"files").
I would guess there is something wrong with the path that LyX is getting.

Ok, thanks! I did that but the log shows nothing unusual. But the
problem seems related only to files that reside in Dropbox folders. Lyx
opens the files directly but does not download the contents from the
Dropbox cloud. If i open a folder in the Dropbox app and doubleclick on
a LyX-file it opens correctly in LyX. It used to work without hazzle
from the LyX-menus before. Maybe it is a Dropbox problem.
Best regards!
