Rebound to previously opened or saved file (or folder)

Is there a built-in preference, setting or capability in Mac OS X (10.2.4) to rebound to previously opened or saved file (or folder)?

Nope, AFAIK you'll only get that ability in certain applications, not via the OS.

Clarification: I read your question as meaning, "Is there a 'revert' function built-in to the OS". Is that what you meant?

Revert? no

Rebound is different than revert.

I think the term originated with the old Boomerang utility, which was then incorporated into Now Utilities.

Rebound is when you open or save a file, the dialog navigates by default to the last place you opened or saved a file using that application.

Try Default Folder from St. Clair software. I think it does what you want:

Thanks, mclbruce, but I am not interested in using Default Folder.
