If I start out with BIAB not running, doubleclicking a BIAB document file (SGU, MGU etc.) does not open that file, it only launches BIAB with a blank chord sheet. I have to doubleclick the file again, with BIAB running, to get it to appear.

What's up with that??

The same thing happens when I do that, but it's not something I tend to do anyway.

I get the same result. Funny, b/c that used to work well. But then it just stopped working.
Yes, I can still click a file in Finder & open a file once BIAB's open; but no, it no longer opens BIAB if closed.
Would be really nice if we could open BIAB by clicking on a file in Finder once again.

I haven't yet been able to duplicate this yet. Perhaps it only happens with certain types of song files. Could you choose a song file in the "Style Demos" folder and see if it loads correctly? What about if you right-click on the file, choose "Open with" and select Band-in-a-Box there - does it then load the song file as you would expect?

Thanks for the reply, Andrew. Both doubleclicking a demo file and right-click-open-with produce the same results.

Hey Mark,
Just curious, if you right-click a song file and choose "Get Info", does it show BIAB as the default under "Open With..." ?
