Finder: opening file removes undo option

Submitted by mojo2012 on June 20, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Most of the operations that can be done though finder can be undone afterwards, eg. renaming the fileextension. But if you open a file after doing something, the last operation cannot be undone anymore.

In my case I sometimes get ISO files with different extensions. I then rename the files to *.iso and try to mount it. In case mounting fails I cannot use cmd-z to undo the extension renaming. Instead I have to do this manually. This happens because Finder deactivates the undo after trying to open the file.

Allow undo even after opening a file between the opening process and the last operation.
