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 4.6.1:

• Fixed a problem with Mavericks making Default Folder X’s “desktop click” window visible when Default Folder X isn’t active.
• Reduced the delay when switching between tabs in Default Folder X’s Preview, Information and Tags window.
• Fixed a graphical glitch in which the buttons in the Preview and Tagging windows weren’t uniform.
• Corrected the position of the menubar menu on multi-monitor configurations.
• Fixed a bug that removed the sidebar from file dialogs in Mac OS 10.6.8.

What's was new in version 4.6, in case you missed it:

• Mavericks tags are now supported in addition to OpenMeta tags.
• Worked around a bug in Mavericks that caused Default Folder X Agent to use ridiculous amounts of memory.
• Corrected an issue that could put Default Folder X’s bezel on-screen even when a file dialog wasn’t active.
• Fixed a problem that could cause the “Are you sure?” dialog to pop up off-screen when you moved an item to the Trash.
• Resolved a problem that could cause Save dialogs in MS Office 2011 applications to appear behind the document being saved.
• Tags are correctly preserved when you Save As over an existing file.
• Default Folder X’s contextual menus are back.
• Fixed the popup tag suggestion window in Save dialogs so that it pops up above Default Folder X’s controls.
• Default Folder X now correctly respects the modifier settings you’ve set in your preferences for the click-to-copy feature.
• Fixed the hierarchical path menu at the top of file dialogs so it correctly goes to the “computer” folder when you select that item in the menu.
• Fixed the sizing of Default Folder X’s bezel around some Open dialogs, including those in QuickTime Player.
• File dialogs that appear as sheets are now recognized as sheets in sandboxed applications.
• Dragging files to and from iCloud in an Open or Save dialog now works correctly.
• If you open a Mail attachment, the recent folder list will no longer show the uselessly named folder that contains it, but will show the “Mail Attachments” folder instead.
• The “Done” button in Default Folder X's tagging window is now red to attract more attention to it.
• Fixed a visual glitch that made Default Folder X's bezel off by one pixel in Mavericks.
