[X4U] Windows closing in Leopard

[Jens Selvig]

When I am transferring my image files from the CF cards to the  
computer, it is kind of a hassle to have be continuously opening a new  
window each time I insert a new card. That being said, the work around  
of clicking on a different volume before clicking the eject button  
works fine, leaving the current window still open.

It does not matter which window has focus when you insert the CF card.  
The current window that has focus is closed if the CF card or CD or I  
suppose any other removable device, is closed. I understand the logic  
Apple has chosen but I don't agree with it. (For me) Maybe they did  
extensive research and found this system is best for most people? It  
could be a finder preference. I am sure I'll be just perfectly happy  
with this behavior in a day or two!
