Description
As a user on OSX I want to double-click on my workspace file in Finder to "load" them to Dyalog interpreter with RIDE.
Currently I have to )load them manually from RIDE.
Probably it should be an option to 1) set the default interpreter 2) either load workspace to running session or 3) create a new session for open workspace.
On OSX there is generally no user-friendly way to load applications/workspaces:
- there is no option to create an executable
- no association with .dws files (this issue)
- no easy scripting facility to run script file, I only could "run" the workspace.
P.S.
For scripting I currently have to write workspace with LX with something like "main [diamond] [quad]off' and run interpreter like this "dyalog -b -s ~/Sources/apl/dyalog-workspaces/test.dws", but I can't do it with the simple text file.

Research direction
The issue names Finder, .dws files, and RIDE but no files or tests. Start by tracing the macOS application file-association flow and the RIDE path for opening or creating interpreter sessions. Before implementation, clarify the default-interpreter and session behavior required; done means double-clicking a .dws file follows the agreed behavior.
