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.
