Hi Bryan,

This bug was only in the daily build for less than a day and has been fixed. If you get a new daily build, things should be fine. The error only happens if you use the File→Open dialog to open a file, rather than the file history icons or the "open" command, which is why you may not have run into it before this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Awesome! Thanks for the update. I'll download the new daily build tomorrow and try again.

I guess I didn't make it clear, but this bug was fixed a few days ago, so you could download the daily build right now and get the fix...
