Purely at a wild guess --- I like these wild guesses at what certain questions might mean on this forum! --- is this the same as https://forum.qt.io/topic/138052/open-some-file-with-running-instance-of-a-qtapplication ? How to have a single instance of an application open/read a file type user double-clicks on.I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to that! In the other thread we told the OP how to go about creating a "singleton" Qt application. That bit is easy. But how would that singleton be notified if the user double-clicks another file of the same type, which we would like it to open in e.g. another tab? My guess is this is OS/windowing system specific and not covered by Qt? Anyone know?

Hi,
For macOS, there's QFileOpenEvent.
In any case, you have to register your application as the default to be used to open that file format.
