Version 6.1.7 of Default Folder X is now available, delivering a feature that was originally included in the version 6.2 beta last week. When you hold down the Command key, Default Folder X adds a submenu to whatever file is currently selected in its menu:
The menu gives you multiple options for handling the file, rather than just opening it. Those include revealing it in the Finder, copying the path of the file or the file itself to the clipboard, or bringing up a standard Share sheet to attach it to an email, AirDrop it, send it in Messages, etc. Or you can use the Open With submenu to open the file in any app you have that recognizes it.
These options are also available in Default Folder X’s Quick Search window by Control-clicking or right-clicking on a search result:
In addition, the 6.1.7 release addresses a number of issues that have been reported since the last update, including incorrect text input in Save dialogs, problems with Save dialogs in Quick Look, Finder tags not always working correctly in Save dialogs and more.
The update is free for everyone who’s purchased a license for version 6. For a complete list of changes and download links, see the What’s New page. Or if you’re already running Default Folder X, just choose “Check for Update” from its menu in your menu bar.
