This has long been an issue with GnuCash on the Mac, such that most of us have simply
gotten used to it. I will add something to the wiki FAQ shortly. It has been entered
as a bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761024
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761024>), so it has been noted for
potential correction at some point. In the meantime, most of us just accept it for
what it is. If you are regularly using multiple data files, you can use a terminal
command to force GnuCash to open the file of your choosing:
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash
—-/path/to/my/gnucash/datafile/firstaccounts.gnucash

No, you don't have to accept it for what it is.
If you are using gnucash to keep books for several entities (real or
virtual) under the same session log in you might prefer to be calling
gnucash with the "nofile" parameter to override the default "open the
last one that was open". In other words, this is not an problem with
gnucash itself but the default. That will save a step since gnucash will
come up with no file open and you then use <File" to select the one you
want.
It has been a while since the list has had a description of the steps to
change a "shortcut' so that the target is called with the "nofile"
parameter. Time to do that again? It has been many years since I last
did that, so maybe somebody else describe the process?
