Hi Niklas,
<div class="">It seems that I cannot reproduce this problem in
Mojave. I have put a lye file Cloud only and, once DB has
followed my order (the tag changes in the Finder), I have tried
to open it in Lyx 2.3.5.2 and it worked: no empty file but the
document itself appeared in LyX.

<p>Hi!</p>
<p>Thanks for your effort. It has to be something in my DB
installation. If I make a new lyx-file and save it to some
dropbox-folder it will open nicely from LyX or by doubleclicking
in Finder. But all my old LyX-files show up as zero bytes in
listings and won't open except by clicking from a DB app folder.
As I said I have Catalina but I suspect something odd in DropBox.</p>
<p>Regards!</p>
<p>Niklas<br>

If you can open LyX from a terminal,
with argument "-dbg files", you<br
class="">
might get more information. You can also
do this by opening the<br class="">
messages pane (View> Messages Pane)
and activating "files" debug<br class="">
messages. (Go to Settings on the pane,
click "Selected" then choose<br class="">
"files").<br class="">
<br class="">
I would guess there is something wrong
with the path that LyX is<br class="">
getting.<br class="">

Ok, thanks! I did that but the log shows
nothing unusual. But the<br class="">
problem seems related only to files that
reside in Dropbox folders.<br class="">
Lyx opens the files directly but does not
download the contents from<br class="">
the Dropbox cloud. If i open a folder in
the Dropbox app and<br class="">
doubleclick on a LyX-file it opens
correctly in LyX. It used to work<br
class="">
without hazzle from the LyX-menus before.
Maybe it is a Dropbox problem.<br class="">
</blockquote>
It sounds like it. I assume there must be
some notification to the<br class="">
Dropbox app that a file has been accessed.
LyX wouldn't provide that,<br class="">
but the OS, or possibly Qt in this case,
might.<br class="">

It may be specific to the Mac OS. I just
uploaded (via web browser) a<br class="">
.lyx file to a shared Dropbox folder owned by a
coauthor, then opened it<br class="">
in LyX via the file menu with no problems. This
was on Linux Mint.<br class="">

What is the setting of \use_native_filedialog
(possibly in preferences? : it defaults to<br

'true' if not set)<br class="">

On a Mac it’s shipped w/o any assignment. So it
should be true.<br class="">

Hi Niklas,<br class="">
Have you activated the new new functionality in
Dropbox that keeps files in the cloud but only keeping
a file handle in the DB folder. You could be trying to
open such a file and DB seems not to be able to detect
the request to the file but Lyx and download it before
opening it.<br class="">
</blockquote>
<br class="">
Hello!<br class="">
<br class="">
Yes, that seems to be the problem. I started using the
Dropbox cloud and file handle option in March this year
and as I remember it worked OK with LyX until version
2.3.5.1. But I also have new versions of the Mac OS and
Dropbox so it is quite hard to determine the ultimate
reason. But other files (jpg, .odt, and even .docx) open
fine using Open in menu options and doubleclicking them
in Finder or other filehandling programs. Just the
LyX-files needs to be opened from a folder opened in the
dropbox app. I also tried the \use_native_filedialog
false/true option in Preferences but it makes no
difference in my case.<br class="">
<br class="">
Best regards<br class="">
<br class="">
Niklas<br class="">
