Dream Weaver Launches, but does not open file.

Question

Running Dreamweaver 18.0 on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.3. In the past, I was able to open HTML documents by selecting "Open With" and selecting Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver would launch, and the file would open. Now, when I take the same steps, Dreamweaver launches, but the file does not open. I have to go back to the file to open it or click open in Dreamweaver to select the file. Dreamweaver is the only Adobe app that does this. I have no issues with other apps such as Ai and Ps. Any suggestions? It is more of an annoyance if anything.

That is really odd. I can't reproduce this on my Mac, so I can't say for certain whether this is a DW or Mac issue. Can you try creating a secondary login on the machine and see if you are able to open directly to DW from that profile? If it still exists, it could be an issue that would need DW to be re-installed. If it works in the other profile, it could be a corrupt Mac profile somewhere that is causing the issue on the Open With command on DW in which case you could try re-installing DW or you may have to migrate to a new user account (I've done this a few times before with Mac upgrades).
