Default Folder X... Recently rated 5 mice by MacUser UK and 4.5 mice by Macworld, Default Folder X attaches a toolbar to the right side of the Open and Save dialogs in any OS X-native application. The toolbar gives you fast access to various folders and commands. You just click on the buttons to go to your favorite and recently used folders, manage the folders and files shown in the list, and make changes to your settings.

Default Folder also fixes a number of problems in Open and Save dialogs, "rebounding" back to the last selected file, putting the path listing back in the top menu, and correcting bugs in scrolling column views.

Version 4.0.5:

Fixed a problem that could cause Default Folder X to mistakenly reactivate after a file dialog was dismissed. This is known to have affected Adobe Acrobat 8 and Dreamweaver CS3, but could also impact other applications.
Improved the way the Spotlight and Info panels resize to fit very small Open and Save As dialog boxes.

Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

	Mar 31 2008	DR.S. Because I am a foreign language speaking user, I particularly appreciate the swift updating of the localized versions (German in my case). (Version 4.0.3)

	Mar 28 2008	ST. CLAIR SOFTWARE Version 4.0.3 corrects Bill Clinton's CPU usage problem (below) along with several other issues. I'd like to encourage everyone to update to the new version. If you've already purchased a license or upgrade for version 4, updating to version 4.0.3 is free. (Version 4.0.3)

	Mar 19 2008	BILL CLINTON Version 4 of Default Folder X (and currently version 4.0.2) re-introduced a nasty bug that persisted for a long time in earlier versions but which was finally squashed within the last year. But now it is back. According to Activity Monitor (already on your computer, so you can check this for yourself), the %CPU usage starts at 0% when Default Folder X starts then gradually (but quickly) rises to several percent.l It is not uncommon to see CPU usage fluctuate between 5% and 11%, even as the program is inactive. I don't know if it goes higher if left alone. (Version 4.0.2)

ROSENKRIEGER I am just trying out 4.0.1 and don't know if there is something wrong with my system or with DFX.

I changed the settings in the menu to:

( the labels might be different, since I am translating this on the fly from the german Text I see )

1. Black Toolbar Background

2. Visual Effects de-activated

BUT the settings don't stick ?!? So when I reboot the checkmark at Visual Effects deactivated has disappeared.

And even IF its set, I still get a fade in/fade out effect.

I am also unable to use the greysidebar - I can klick the radio button but it has no effect. I still get a complete black background and no grey sidebar anywhere to be seen.

What am I doing wrong ?!? (Version 4.0.1)
