Opening files from shell command line opens them twice

Description

If I start ChimeraX from mac command line also specifying the input command file (struts.cxc attached) there is an error shown in the Log apparently from reading the pbond file that the script opens (5ego.pb also attached). Subsequent commands in the script are not echoed but apparently they have been executed. The error is that some atomspec in the pbond file is giving 2 atoms instead of one. However, if I simply start up ChimeraX and then separately open struts.cxc there is no error. It seems like there is some weird transient state upon startup where it thinks there are two copies of some atom even though there is only one.

I put it as minor since it might be something a user is unlikely to encounter.

Milestone: → Alpha2
Owner: changed from Eric Pettersen to Greg Couch
Summary: weird error opening inputs at startup (via system cmd line) but not if opening after startup → Opening files from shell command line opens them twice

e.g. "shell-invocation-of-ChimeraX pdb:3rut" opens two copies of 3rut

Works on Linux. Mac bug?

Fixed.

Mac OS generates QFileOpenEvents for command-line arguments and our command-line parsing also opened the file. Made our code ignore the QFileOpenEvents that were already opened as command-line arguments.
