@DTS Engineer Thank you for the detailed reply! It may take me a while to respond to all of your points, but here is a start: Yes, the issue here is that nothing (no app launch and/or document open) is happening. The target app is a copy of BBEdit in my ~/Applications folder. Using the open command to open the same text file with the same copy of BBEdit works fine. Regarding How did your app get that file URL? Is your app able to open the file? And is the file already downloaded or is it still dataless? The file is downloaded. My app gets the URL by drag and drop from the Finder. My app does not attempt to open the file on its own, it just forwards the URL to be opened by another app, BBEdit in this case, somewhat like what the Dock does. Dang, now all of a sudden it's working. Obviously I need to do a lot more testing.
