Default Folder X 4.6.6 delivers a number of important compatibility fixes.
Screencast: Default Folder X Overview		Default Folder X 4.6.6 puts back the Command-D shortcut to go to the Desktop and fixes issues with password prompts, incorrect file names, rebound in column view and more. This update is FREE if you own a license for version 4. If you have an older copy of Default Folder X, there is a $14.95 upgrade fee for this version. If you need to purchase an upgrade, you can do so by clicking here.

What's new in Default Folder X 4.6.6:

• The Command-D keyboard shortcut once again takes you to the Desktop, rather than invoking the Duplicate command.
• Corrected an issue that could cause some applications (such as Monosnap) to save files with the wrong filename.
• Fixed a problem where Default Folder X would try to set the tags on an item even if they hadn’t changed. This could lead OS X to ask for your password in order to change metadata when it was unnecessary.
• Default Folder X previously didn’t use its Rebound feature in column view because it changed the way the arrow keys worked when navigating Open dialogs with the keyboard. Rebound is now enabled in column view - if the changes in keyboard behavior bother you, Option-click on the Settings button in Default Folder X and turn on the NoReboundInColumnView checkbox.
• On some Macs, Default Folder X caused OS X to switch to the high performance GPU when showing previews of audio files in its preview window. Audio previews are now disabled by default. You can turn them back on by Option-clicking on the Settings button in Default Folder X and turning on ShowAudioPreviews.
• The buttons in the Preview / Information / Tags window now highlight to show you which mode you’re in.
• Eliminated warnings printed in the Console log when running on Yosemite.
• Fixed some scrambled text in Default Folder X’s AppleScript dictionary.
