Description
On Mac double clicking a PDB file starts ChimeraX and shows it, but double clicking a second PDB file does not open it the running ChimeraX. It does bring the ChimeraX window to the top but does not open the file. This is surprising because drag and drop of a second file onto the running ChimeraX correctly opens it.

Fixed.
ChimeraX was getting the Qt FileOpen event but ignored it because of some broken code. The FileOpen event is a generic Qt event, not specific to Mac, so the fix should also fix the same problem on Windows and Linux, although I have not tested those.
