Default Folder X 4.6.3 corrects default folder locations
Screencast: Default Folder X Overview		Default Folder X 4.6.3 fixes a few compatibility issues and bugs, including the failure of some applications to default to the correct folder when a file dialog first opens. 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 4.6.3:

• Changed the behavior of last-used-folder tracking so that Pro Tools, Pages, InDesign, Microsoft Word and other applications will default to the correct folder.
• Corrected a bug that could cause the “Open and Save to the same folder” option to work incorrectly.
• Fixed a problem with the path popup menu disappearing in minimized Save As dialogs on Mac OS 10.8.
• Changed the SetSaveName AppleScript command so it works with UTF-8 encoded text.
