Sequential will not open an image in the Download folder

[joecascio]

Move (or download) any image file into the user's Download folder. Double click on the image (Sequential is the default app for image file extensions), Sequential becomes the active app, and may beachball momentarily, then nothing.

Move the file to any other folder, double click (or CMD down-arrow) on it, and it will open.

Using CMD-O in the Sequential File menu has exactly the same behavior.

Natively, Sequential recurses into subfolders looking for viewable files, even package contents, so you might get a beachball if you have apps in your Downloads folder.
If you wait long enough, it will eventually load the double clicked image and everything else it finds within the same path.

Duplicate of #9

If I can offer a suggestion, It might be beneficial to have an option to not search for anything except image files. That is, don't search in zip files or app files, or whatever. I've even had Sequential show stock images in Keynote files, which is sort of a pain.

I would close this one and post that suggestion in the original #9.
