Description
I can no longer open Fiji files by double clicking on them (tiff) or dragging and dropping them on the Fiji icon in the menu bar. If Fiji is not open, it opens but does not open the file. If it is open, nothing happens. Opening the same file from File/Open or File/Import works fine. This used to work fine and I don't know when the transition occurred to make it stop working (within the last few months). I saw on the listserv that a colleague had posted the same issue on his Mac. OS X 10.11.6 Fiji up to date today.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on OS X 10.11.6 with a TIFF: try Finder double-click and dragging the file to the Fiji icon, then compare with File/Open and File/Import. Done means both double-clicking and drag-and-drop open the selected file in Fiji.
