Dragging files to .app no longer loads them
Espectr0:
Hola,
With Lazarus 4.0 and earlier, I could (individually) drag .srt (SubRip), .vtt (WebVTT), and .itt (iTunes Timed Text) files onto my .app, and it would open them without any issues on OS X El Capitan (10.11.6).
However, after updating Lazarus to 4.2, I now get an error: The document “[example]” could not be opened. App cannot open files in the “Text file” format.
Is it possible that something has changed internally in Lazarus?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Hmmm, have you checked for BOM (B)yte(O)rder(M)ark in the srt files?!?
There are BOMs for utf8 & utf16 BE/LE...
Regards Benny

When I compiled my app with Lazarus 4 or earlier, it worked. I think the problem started with Lazarus 4.2. The message I get is from macOS as soon as I drag the file over the .app.

Did you set all the path correctly?

I haven't changed anything in my app, I just recompiled it with the new Lazarus and it stopped working. What should I check?
Maybe something changed with macOS El Capitan compatibility?
