Many programs do this.  Apple made it extra work for a program to
handle this, so not everyone thinks to put the code in their program.
It is, however fairly easy to get around.  Make sure that you have a
file-save or file-open dialog box up whenever you put a disk in.  This
is usually reasonable, since you will be wanting to save a
file, or open one anyways.
