Build number 5 of the Default Folder X 6.2 public beta is available! It supports Apple’s latest macOS 26 Tahoe betas and even includes a glassy new icon created with Icon Composer 😁
The importance of this release depends on whether you’re using any of Adobe’s Creative Cloud 2025 apps. If you are, version 6.2b5 will solve problems with selecting or typing text into edit fields in Save dialogs. And although the Default Folder X betas are primarily for getting things working smoothly on Apple’s macOS 26 Tahoe beta releases, these fixes work on any supported version of macOS (10.13 High Sierra through 26 Tahoe). So yeah, if you’re running InDesign 2025, Illustrator 2025, or any other Adobe “2025” app, get Default Folder X 6.2b5.
This build also includes a second attempt to fix a rare bug that has shown up a few times in crash logs, but that I’m unable to reproduce here. The system is throwing an odd exception, but I can’t figure out how to cause it, so the included fix is my best guess at working around the issue. We’ll see if the crash logs stop trickling in 🤷🏻♂️ If you’re actually seeing a crash in Default Folder X, please get in touch!
Complete release notes and download links are on the Default Folder X Beta Testing page. If you run into issues please be sure to report them to DefaultFolderX@stclairsoft.com ASAP. Thanks!
