Are you just dropping the .hip file onto an open instance of Houdini?

I find that does not always work. Sometimes I have to click on Houdini then drag the HIP file onto Houdini before it finally loads.

NOTE: Double Click to launch Houdini with a .HIP file on OSX does not work for me either so you are not alone.

Once Houdini is open then double clicking a .hip, or, drag-drop the .hip onto the app icon, or drag-drop the.hip onto the Houdini session should work.
