[MAC] Double-click to open a file and cannot activate the minimized NN window

[ErickWei]

When NN is already open and minimized, double-clicking another file will not wake up NN. The NN window needs to be restored manually, then the file will be imported by NN.

But on windows,is another issue.
When NN is already open and minimized, double-clicking another file can activate NN window,but the file not loaded at all.

It is working fine for me. I'm on Windows 11, master branch, using Qt6.5.3

Mac works a bit differently when opening files. It send an event to the application and is handled here:

NotepadNext/src/NotepadNext/NotepadNextApplication.cpp

Lines 468 to 477 in 77d0932

	// Handle the QFileOpenEvent to open files on MacOS X.
	if (event->type() == QEvent::FileOpen) {
	QFileOpenEvent *fileOpenEvent = static_cast<QFileOpenEvent*>(event);
	qInfo("QFileOpenEvent %s", qUtf8Printable(fileOpenEvent->file()));
	openFiles(QStringList() << fileOpenEvent->file());
	return true;
	}

And again the bringWindowToForeground() method might need updated as well, but it is weird it is not receiving the request to open the file.

That is very odd. Not sure if the debug logs points to any indication of the cause...or if more debug info needs added to that part of the application to help. The third party library used for that SingleApplication is likely the cause but I cannot say that for certain.
