Sonoma upgrade stopped Logic files from opening.

Today I upgraded from Sonoma 14.7 to 14.8.2

It has resulted in almost all my Logic files, working yesterday, now no longer opening.

I am running Logic 11.2.2

I cannot open them from within Logic's File > Open menu, nor by dragging a file onto Logic in the dock, nor by double-clicking on it. They still show in Finder with a Logic icon.

A fix would be welcome as this is ridiculous.

Mac Studio, macOS 14.8

If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in safe mode. Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.

This is rather a file storage issue than a MacOS issue. Are you trying to open projects stored in the cloud or on a volume that is not formatted with APFS or MacOS extended?
