Thanks, I tried it but dragging files to the chimera dock icon did not open them.
I don’t have a Catalina system to test this on at home, and it’s not quite as convenient as the double-click thing, but you may be able to drag the file from the Finder and drop it on
the Chimera icon in the Dock (not on the Chimera window itself). That certainly works on pre-Catalina systems.

Hello Tom,
Yes, I am using macOS Catalina. Thanks for letting me know. I will use ChimeraX in future sessions.
Best,
Dominique
Hi Dominique,
Are you using macOS Catalina? We have seen that a macOS update broke opening files by double clicking on the file icons in Finder. Unfortunately we have no funding to maintain Chimera so only critical fixes are made and I don't think this is
going to count as critical. Our newer ChimeraX software opens the files correctly and all our effort is towards developing it with a 1.0 release coming next month.
