What's new in Default Folder X 4.0.5

  • Fixed a problem that could cause Default Folder X to mistakenly reactivate after a file dialog was dismissed. This is known to have affected Adobe Acrobat 8 and Dreamweaver CS3, but could also impact other applications.
  • Improved the way the Spotlight and Info panels resize to fit very small Open and Save As dialog boxes.

What changed recently in Default Folder X 4.0.4

  • Fixed a bug that could cause crashes in FileBuddy and other Carbon applications when "Make Save dialogs automatically default to the current document's folder" was turned on.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect application behavior when a Save As dialog was cancelled with the filename edit box empty.
  • Got rid of Leopard's "You've downloaded this application from the Internet" warning by clearing the quarantine attributes when Default Folder X is installed.
  • Corrected a problem that could cause Default Folder X to crash or enter text incorrectly when accented characters were typed in the Spotlight comment box.
  • Added a setting to make the "Make Save dialogs automatically default to the current document's folder" feature also work for Print to PDF and Export dialogs. Option-click on the Settings button, and turn on the "ExportAndPrintToDocumentFolder" checkbox.
  • The Finder label and "remember for next time" controls in the Spotlight dialog no longer overlap when a Save As dialog is very small.
  • The "Change folder set" menu now displays your folder sets as it should.
