Just for the record, the best way to install configurations in
Tunnelblick is to drag the configuration(s) and drop them on the
Tunnelblick icon in the menu bar. The user can install "incomplete"
.ovpn files, too, as long as the cert/key/etc. files the .ovpn files
reference are readable by the user.

Drag/drop forces macOS to use the currently-running copy ofTunnelblick
to install the configuration. macOS's Launch Services, which handles
double-clicks, can get confused when more than one copy of Tunnelblick
exists on a system, or when other programs claim to be able to open
configuration files, or when its database gets messed up. All three
happen with enough frequency that we recommend drag/drop to install.

Cheers,

Jon Bullard

PS: Because of the way macOS works, we can't disable double-clicks but
still allow drag/drop, so for most users a double-click will work. But
we don't advertise that.
