Version 6.3.1 of Default Folder X is ready! This release provides bug fixes on macOS 27 Golden Gate and 10.13 High Sierra (the newest and oldest supported systems). It also makes one of its drag-and-drop features more visible and easier to work with.
Whenever you begin dragging a file or folder, Default Folder X will show a little icon of a folder below the menu bar. Drag and drop the item onto this icon and you’ll get Default Folder X’s menu, letting you quickly choose a folder to receive the item you dragged.
It lets you drag and drop files without having to open a window in the Finder first.
A bug in macOS 27 Save dialogs which could make it impossible to select a file format from a popup menu has been fixed. Single-clicking on a folder in List View in file dialogs no longer opens the folder, and syncing settings over iCloud correctly updates pinned folders. Default Folder X’s Finder toolbar icons are also the correct size on Golden Gate, and a bug that broke navigation to folders on High Sierra has been fixed.
This update is free to users who have purchased a license for Default Folder X 6. You can see a full change history and download the update on the What’s New page, or by choosing “Check for Update” from Default Folder X’s menu in your menu bar.
Hi — longtime Default Folder user. I find the recent drop down target folder (from the menu bar icon) to be annoying — never use it. I’d like to see an option in Settings to disable it. In the meantime, I’ve had to remove DFX from the menu bar (which I really don’t want to do. Thanks for listening, and thanks for a wonderful product!
