Hi Niklas,
It seems that I cannot reproduce this problem in Mojave. I have put a
lye file Cloud only and, once DB has followed my order (the tag
changes in the Finder), I have tried to open it in Lyx 2.3.5.2 and it
worked: no empty file but the document itself appeared in LyX.
Hi!
Thanks for your effort. It has to be something in my DB installation. If
I make a new lyx-file and save it to some dropbox-folder it will open
nicely from LyX or by doubleclicking in Finder. But all my old LyX-files
show up as zero bytes in listings and won't open except by clicking from
a DB app folder. As I said I have Catalina but I suspect something odd
in DropBox.
Regards!
Niklas

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
