One thing for those affected to try is rebooting in Safe mode (Shift key held down). See if Bookends launches now without the error message. Then reboot normally.

But is there a way to get open-on-launch working again?

That's what I'm trying to do. If I could reproduce the problem, that would help.

I just did this. It didn't change anything.

Same problem here with 10.5.7:
- open upon launch never works
- double clikcing a db the first time gives the error, the second time not
- idem for opening from menu

Hi everyone,

I have identified the problem and it should be fixed. Please download Bookends 10.5.4 again from our download page

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Light speed? This was Warp 5 minimum!
