macOS open files from Finder

[bripakes]

On macOS 13.4.1, if I double-click on a SVS file from the Finder, QuPath 0.4.3 opens but does not open the file I clicked on. Can this be added to the application? Currently I need to open QuPath first and then choose open from the File menu and navigate to the image so I can open it (or drag the file into the QuPath window).

I've hidden the last comments because there's already a discussion at #1281 anyway.

@bripakes I'll look into it - I recall it's an awkward battle to get this to work with JavaFX and macOS.

(I use a Mac and always use a project and/or drag the image I want onto the QuPath window, so I haven't found the lack of double-click support troublesome myself - but I agree it would be good to support of it's technically possible)

It looks like this is a JavaFX bug/limitation:

• https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8239590
• https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8241973

I'll explore whether I can find any workarounds for the next QuPath release, but it looks like it could be a more fundamental problem of how JavaFX and macOS work.
