OK, that?s the sort of thing I expected to happen, and after a good night?s sleep I remember that there is sometimes a problem on Macs when an application is started by double-clicking on a file?s icon in the Finder. This is the case with GnuCash - an open-source bookkeeping program. If you use the Finder to identify an accounts file you want to open, and double-click it, GnuCash will be executed, but will open the last file it was using, NOT the double-clicked file. It?s necessary to start GnuCash directly, and then use its File=>Open option to open the accounts file. Because GnuCash is set up to open the most-recently-used file when it starts, it does this when the OS fails to tell it what file to open, but I think that GIMP defaults to a clean slate if it doesn?t receive a filename on its command-line. As I only have one accounts file, this is never an issue for me, but I recall some activity on the GnuCash list about it. Given limited development resources, the problem has not been fixed, and I suspect that this may also apply to Scribus. Perhaps another Mac user on the list could check this out? > > And i dont get what is it you call 'online?.
