Screencast: Default Folder X Overview		Default Folder X 4.5.8 corrects a number of issues and we recommend that all users update to this version. 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 4.5.8:

• Enabled Default Folder X in Java applications running under Mac OS 10.8.
• Fixed a problem that could cause file dialogs to hang in Preview, TextEdit and Mail after using Default Folder X's menus.
• Corrected problems with the utility menu and contextual menu having missing items.
• Localized the QuickLook item in the utility menu and contextual menus.
• Added VoiceOver labels for the Default Folder X toolbar buttons.

Other recent changes in Default Folder X:

• Fixed a conflict with BetterTouchTool and other mouse drivers that could cause file dialogs to hang (yeah, bizarre).
• Corrected a problem with rebound working inconsistently after launching or switching between applications.
• Fixed a problem that caused Default Folder X's menubar menu to occasionally fail to respond.
• Added QuickLook previews to the contextual menu that Default Folder X adds to Open and Save dialogs. You can now control-click / right-click on a file in an Open or Save dialog and choose "QuickLook" to see a preview of it. This is especially handy in Save dialogs if you want to make sure you're about to overwrite the correct file :)
• After you move an item to the Trash in a file dialog, the next file will now be properly selected.
• Error messages are no longer printed in the console by the Default Folder X preference pane.
• Fixed a compatibility issue with The Unarchiver.
• Corrected some user interface glitches.
