Description

I am currently running DView (wxWidgets 3.0.3) Version September 18th, 2017 on a mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.6. I cannot load files in DView using the Open command, but I am able to load using the Append command. However, I cannot load multiple files in DView using the Append command. I need to load multiple files in DView to compare data, so I am wondering if this issue has been resolved or if there is a solution available to mac users?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the DView file-loading behavior on macOS, comparing the Open and Append commands with multiple files. Read the DView and wxWidgets file-loading entry points to identify why Open fails; done means Open loads files on macOS and multiple files can be loaded for comparison.
