*sigh* Michael, there *is* a difference between how gnucash behaves on OS X compared to Windows an Linux. This issue is not the fact gnucash tries to open the last opened file again by default, the issue is gnucash on OS X does that even if you double-clicked on *another* file to open. On Windows and Linux this does exactly what the user expects: it opens this other file. On OS X it will still open the file gnucash remembers as the last opened file and it will ignore the file the user actually clicked on. This is not default behaviour, this is a bug in the integration code between gnucash/gtk and OS X. The merits of the gnucash default while interesting in itself to debate on is not really an answer to the original question.
