Default Folder 4.3.9 contains a quick fix for version 4.3.8, which was released on June 23. That version could crash when encountering certain files. We recommend that all Default Folder X users upgrade to version 4.3.9. And yes, Default Folder X is compatible with Mac OS 10.6.4.

This update is FREE if you own a license for version 4, or if you purchased a new version 3 license or upgrade on or after June 1, 2007. 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 4.3.9

  • This quick-fix release corrects a single bug that could cause Default Folder X to crash in some circumstances.

What changed in Default Folder X 4.3.8 (two days ago)

  • Default Folder X now shows the pixel dimensions of images in its preview and information panels.

  • New MacBook Pros that have automatic GPU switching will no longer think that Default Folder X requires high powered graphics (it never did, but OS X thought so). This should save power and increase battery life.

  • You can now use function keys F16-F19 in your hotkeys for favorite folders.

  • Dragging and dropping to the Default Folder X preference pane now works for aliases as well as folders.

  • Default Folder X will now work with Open and Save dialogs that SystemEvents displays in AppleScript scripts.

  • There's a new AddRecentFolder AppleScript command in Default Folder X's scripting dictionary.

  • Corrected a bug that could cause the "Make save dialogs automatically default to the current document's folder" feature to work incorrectly.

  • Default Folder X will now read and write OpenMeta tags and Finder labels even when the Finder is not running.

  • When using Path Finder as Default Folder X's GetInfo helper, Default Folder X would mistakenly open a file when you chose Get Info for it. This has been fixed.

  • The control key didn't correctly change the sort order of the Recent Folders menu from chronological to alphabetical ordering. It now works correctly.

  • Corrected constant logging of errors by Google Chrome Helper.

  • Worked around a crash in iTunesFS.

  • Added support for Automatic Duck.

As a long-term Mac user, i have installed demo software beyond count. Yours is one of the few that I've seen the worth in investing in.
- Daniel Kennish
It's one of those programs that I wonder how I lived without for so long. Before I was constantly clicking through directories every time I wanted to open, save or attach a file. Now I do almost everything in just a few clicks.
