This is true when Options->Show Buffers in New Frame is not turned on (the default), and is also true after the option is enabled. I suspect there’s a conflict over the priority of opening with in a tab or a new frame, which is not surprising.

In a situation like that, I usually try to evaluate parts of my configuration file to narrow it down. It’s unfortunately a little harder to do that with the configuration spread out in the Preferences.el and customization files.

Now, when I "open"  a file [e.g. a text file] from Terminal or double click on it in the Finder, it opens a buffer in Aquamacs, but that buffer either does not initially display at all or if it does is included as a 2nd window [in the emacs sense] of an existing frame. I would prefer that all new files opened from the Finder display in a new frame [in the emacs sense], i.e., a new window in the OSX sense.  Any guidance on this? -- pr
