Thanks for your careful description. Wah, I want to open and edit and
save as new name and location, but I guess I can relearn my pattern.
Maybe I can teach Hazel to open .doc files in Downloads? hmmm, that
might make a mess.
So the upshot of this is that my issue is a feature, not a bug. Knowing
this I think I’ll be less annoyed by the behavior.
thanks again

Annamarie,
My 2¢… On my version of MM, 1.14 Test Build 5964, also on the last
official Beta release of 1.14 (5937) (you can get a list of all
releases from the Help Menu, without installing them), the
double-click, assuming that is what you are doing, does indeed open a
read-only version of the file assuming MacOS and the app in question
supports it. Preview supports a PDF file opening in read-only. And so
I can confirm that a PDF in MM, opens in Preview and appears as
Read-only.
Again, what would you like it to do - open as a new version of the
file that can be saved to a new location? That would then become
several more steps to store the file - select the new location, and
save it - two more steps but certainly do-able) from there as a copy.
The workaround I suggest is use the “eye” icon instead to confirm
it’s what you expect. Then the “down arrow” icon instead if
satisfied with the quick look. With practice you’ll find it useful
and saves steps (keystrokes).
Respectfully,
Henry Seiden

hi
Hasn’t been asked. I’m double-clicking on the attachment - as I
have for the many years I’ve been using MM. It’s fine if I
download and then open the file. But that’s an annoying extra step,
right?_______________________________________________
