Comment:

 Yes, a Cocoa vs. Carbon app is the cause of the problem.

 I have been building both Qt/Carbon and Qt/Cocoa but using QGIS/Qt/Carbon
 because it works more reliably. I was still waiting for Qt/Cocoa to
 improve or for Qt to issue some instructions on what developers need to
 change.

 While pursuing the details of NSApplication/QApplication interaction, I
 discovered QFileOpenEvent which reports "double clicking on a file icon in
 the Finder" among other things. It looks like it abstracts Carbon/Cocoa
 Open Document Apple Events so that separate code isn't needed for each.

 Rather than writing Cocoa code to match the existing Carbon code,
 migrating to QFileOpenEvent may be a better solution.
