Description

While trguing is running: double-clicking a .torrent icon, or dropping it on the window, causes the app to react to it (i.e., you get the "add torrent" dialog box, preset to the currently-viewed server.)

It seems that if trguing is NOT running, when you double-click a .torrent icon (e.g., on your Desktop or in your Downloads folder), the app will launch but the file itself is ignored. You can go back and double-click the .torrent icon and then it will be added.

Tested on v1.5.0 with macOS Sequoia 15.7. Can anyone confirm?

Research direction

No files or tests are named. First reproduce the macOS behavior by launching TrguiNG with a .torrent file when the app is not running, then inspect the app-startup and file-open handling entry points. Done means the launch-time file reaches the add-torrent dialog, matching the behavior when the app is already running.
