Double-clicking .osm file on Mac OS X doesn't open JOSM

[Stereo]

Expected behaviour: JOSM should open the file as if it had been chosen through the file chooser dialog.
Actual behaviour: Error message saying: There is no application set to open the document “example.osm”.

Similarly, dragging a readable file to JOSM or typing 'open -a JOSM example.osm' should open the file.

For extra points, JOSM should also be able to open the file types that extra plug-ins support, for example .shp files from the Open Data plug-in.

This might be useful:

Could one of you try ​this package and tell me if opening .osm files with double-click works?

Hi Don-vip,

Lesath here. Yes it works partially on Mac. Double click on a *.osm opens JOSM, but JOSM does not load the file itself - I think this is the expected behavior for this enhancment. The open command works in the same way as the double click on the filename.

I don't know if it is possible, but the same fix for compressed data like "*.osm.bz2" or "*.osm.zip" would be a nice-to-have!

Thanks for testing. I expected JOSM to open the file, I will look into it.

Easy to add.

We should implement this: ​http://stackoverflow.com/q/22705060/2257172

Can you try again? It should work now.

[Lesath]

Sorry no. It seems to work in the same way as above - it opens JOSM, but it won't load the file. I will have a further look into the debugger today evening.

Is there any of these warnings?

Main.warn("Failed to register with OSX: " + ex);
Main.warn("Failed to access open files event: " + ex);

[Don-vip]

Hi guys, please, I need some help here as we do not have any Mac for testing :) Is there any warning on console when launching JOSM package from ​here?

In 7283/josm:

see #10025 - add debug/warn messages

[Don-vip]

Maybe a Java bug (​8043852) after all. Could one of you please attach a status report after JOSM is launched with double-click on an .osm file?
