I did a fresh install with 10.2 and it seems FileMaker 5.5v2 doesn't open a file when you double click it in the finder when FM isn't already running. Does this every time and sometimes when it isn't launching FM.

Anyway else witnessed this?

Now that you mention it, your right.

Eric I agreed with your earlier post. However today I was unpluged from the network

FIleMaker was not up. I clicked on a file and it opened right up. I reconnected to the network later in the day and went online. When I was done I left the internet up went to my file to open it again, it launched FM but I had to click the file again to open it.

So is this part of the bug?

I have this problem when the file I am opening contains a password. If the file is not password protected, the file opens fine when double-clicked from the Finder, but if the file contains a password, I need to double-click a second time after FM is launched.

Ya, Its only when it has a password. Seen this in 5.5 and 6.0

I have the very same problem. Extremely annoying!

I also have a problem with a client running OSX and trying to access files on a dedicated server running Server 5.5. See my post "Error Codes" in FILEMAKER SERVER, if you can offer any help.

THAT problem has made FileMaker almost unusable for my company and no one seems to have clue how to solve it (or even what causes the problem).

I'd recommend calling FileMaker Inc and telling them about it. Hopefully they will release a fix.

Actually, I have that problem with several apps in 10.1.5.

For example, double-clicking a FreeHand file opens FreeHand, but not the file.

Double-clicking it again opens the file.

That, BTW, is an improvement... it used to be that you had to do File...Open within FreeHand to open anything.

It is disappointing that bug remains in 10.2.
