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.
It sounds like it. I assume there must be some notification to the
Dropbox app that a file has been accessed. LyX wouldn't provide that,
but the OS, or possibly Qt in this case, might.

It may be specific to the Mac OS. I just uploaded (via web browser) a
.lyx file to a shared Dropbox folder owned by a coauthor, then opened it
in LyX via the file menu with no problems. This was on Linux Mint.

What is the setting of \use_native_filedialog (possibly in preferences? : it
defaults to
'true' if not set)
On a Mac it’s shipped w/o any assignment. So it should be true.

Hi Niklas,
Have you activated the new new functionality in Dropbox that keeps files in the
cloud but only keeping a file handle in the DB folder. You could be trying to
open such a file and DB seems not to be able to detect the request to the file
but Lyx and download it before opening it.
Hello!
Yes, that seems to be the problem. I started using the Dropbox cloud and
file handle option in March this year and as I remember it worked OK
with LyX until version 2.3.5.1. But I also have new versions of the Mac
OS and Dropbox so it is quite hard to determine the ultimate reason. But
other files (jpg, .odt, and even .docx) open fine using Open in menu
options and doubleclicking them in Finder or other filehandling
programs. Just the LyX-files needs to be opened from a folder opened in
the dropbox app. I also tried the \use_native_filedialog false/true
option in Preferences but it makes no difference in my case.
Best regards
Niklas
