Summary: Mac: New window not opening on loading

Initial Comment:  
When I double click a .xyz file in the Finder, a new seperate window is not opened for it in Avogadro. Instead Avogadro replaces the current window with the new file. So when molecule A.xyz is open in Avogadro and B.xyz is double-clicked, the window containing A.xyz suddenly has B.xyz in it.

I’m running Avogadro 1.0.0 on Mac OS 10.6.2
