Hi Mark,

Trust me, I used to add those lines as well. But in
the Inspector Palette for the card, you can also tick
the checkbox "Update before opening card"
I agree with you this might better be the default
behaviour, but that's an entirely different story, an
you could add it as a change request to bugzilla.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
