Default Folder X for Mac5.6

I have been using this app for some months now and have the latest 5.6 version. Ran Fine under Catalina, Big Sur but when I updated to Monterey this morning, as soon as I tried to open my HD Icon, the finder went into a quit/relaunch/quit/relaunch etc. Removing DFX from my logiitems folder, the problem went away.iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i764 GB 2400 MHz DDR4. Hopefully there will be a fix soon

I have been using Default Folder since version 1 and it is the first utility I install when I purchase a new computer. Apple has made very few changes to the open/save dialog in the past 20 years but the developer of Default Folder has made up for Apple's lack of. No need to go over all the great features, many are already listed above. Spend a week using DF and then try to stop using DF and you will then realize the convenience of getting to that folder in a split second instead of moving through a bundle of folders to get to that folder buried deep inside another folder. My favorite feature is being able to click on a folder in the Finder from with a Default Folder open/save window and be taking to that folder instantaneously. You want to save a few days of your life? Start using Default Folder and you'll save those seconds, that add up to minutes, hours and days. Maybe if you live long enough you could save a year of your life. Try this app and you will end up buying it, if you value your time.

Save downloads

Absolutely essential software for any Mac. Don't know why Apple hasn't bought this and integrated it into the Finder. Can't do without it.

For a couple of days, after installing macOS 11.1 beta, DFX stopped working. You never think about how valuable this utility is for your productivity until it’s not there. As always, the developer was quick to address the issue and this latest update made things right again! Thanks, Jon!

Excellent, time-saving and hassle-free file/folder open/close. Equally excellent response to questions as well as correction of occasional bugs. If you have more than a few folders with few or no sub-folders, this is an app to have to facilitate getting work done instead of navigating only through the native framework.

Default Folder X is amazing software. It is a classic given that it has remained so useful, simple, and unsurpassed for so many years.

Default Folder is hands down one of the top must-have products, especially if you move, save, seek, use files all over your Mac and network. I have had it for years and would not have any setup without it! Think of this: You've been working on images, charts, sound files, videos, for like the past four hours, and NOW you've got to place them all - DF remembers where you were, and you can go back to any folder you've been in, off a list. But of course, it does so much more! You can set up DF to use a specific folder for a specific application, or project, or just about anything. It will remember a favorites list, and will, or won't, give you a preview of a file just by highlighting it. Imagine these features, and anything related you can think of, and it's in there. For the busy user, nothing else comes close. I want to mention, I am not paid for writing this, I have communicated with the author along the years when I had issues, but I write this because it works, and it should do as good for you too!

Great App, so very useful to me.

Have used this for years and it continues to work great. Very responsive developer. Enormously time saving.

Have used and loved it for many years :)

This is something that Apple should have included by default to macOS!

I've tried a few iterations of v5 in El Capitan but there's always a lag in open/save dialogs before you can click on a Finder's window.
Reverting to 4.7.4 fixes it! No particular issue in El Capitan with that old version.
EDIT: well... actually, it looks like some app won't use it — all the browsers I've tried just now.

Yes, v5.3.7 is the update from May.

Can't imagine using my Mac without Default Folder X installed. Apple should buy this and integrate it into the system.

Awesome software and service since so many years – and if there's an issue it will be solved always very fast. Default Folder is a must have for every Mac – worth every penny!

Still crazy about Default Folder after all these years and it had been many years. Default Folder is Fantastic application developed by an Indie developer who is always updating, adding and fixing.

Most responsive Dev I've ever communicated with, period. That includes Peter N. Lewis of Keyboard Maestro. Jon sweeps away the rest, even if by a slim margin sometimes. App: for all the file moving & saving & temporary file management I do, this is the first, not joking, first app I install of about a dozen of my necessary shareware programs. The confusion I suffer when I use a machine to work with documents (as oppose to all the machines I fix), my head explodes and friends and family have a seance to revive me, with DFX as the medium. This app has many features, and it is possible to miss some as I have in the past, that reveal themselves as truly helpful. I encourage everyone to who hasn't, whether new to Default Folder X or unaware, try the Finder Toolber Menus. The finder Toolbar is that thing at the top of each finder window (typically visible), where you change which view you're in and can navigate forward or backward, perform an inplace search, etc. I don't think all people who disagree with the 5-star reviews are wrong, especially if they've found a bug that's fatal for their workflow. Consider this a tool like a Swiss army knife for file & folder placement & navigation. i know there are others out there, but I personally find those overkill and too different from the native OS for my needs. If you only ever use the toothpick on your swiss, this might not be for you. If you use two or three of the tools regularly, like the saw, the knife, and the pliers, this has that down like an ace and with scissors and tweezers to boot. Peace and goodwill.

It is a nostalgia-ware at this point. People using it since the Classic Mac OS days will feel right at home, think that it is a "must-have" software and believe that we could not live without it.

Those of us who are familiar with macOS Open & Save sheet's essential features, though, will find many Default Folder X's features redundant and unnecessary. For example, I find it more than sufficient to hit Command + R in Open & Save sheet to open the corresponding folder in Finder to rename files and perform other file management actions. When you open a file, select a file in Open sheet and hit Space bar to preview the file while you are still in the Open sheet. A quick Command + Tab will bring me right back to where I was. I find judicious use of Finder's Sidebar more than sufficient for shortcuts to various folders. Apps nowadays do an adequate job to remember the previous folders I opened and saved files, but long-time DFX users will not know it since they most likely haven't given the stock environment a fair chance. Granted, it's not perfect, but I usually add folders to the Sidebar on the fly if it bothers me.

I often use the built-in search to jump to a particular folder, so I don't usually bother navigating through file hierarchy if something is not in the Sidebar. I use tags in file names, so it's relatively quick to narrow down my choices with a few keywords. I also use Spotlight search to instantly locate a folder while I'm in Open and Save sheet. I drag and drop a folder icon from Spotlight popup to Open and Save sheet, and it will jump straight to that folder. Again, no need to fiddle with menu hierarchy with a mouse/Trackpad.

To me, effective usage of the stock OS functionalities and proper naming of folders render this utility unnecessary. I used it for several years in the past, but I haven't missed it since I learned to take more advantage of built-in features.

Don’t leave home without it! The very best app around for moving files anywhere you want simply and quickly. This app has many excellent functions available to you and requires minimal brain power to understand and operate! Updated regularly. Elegant interface. Very responsive support! Mojave ready, willing and able!

Have been using Default Folder for at least 20 years. I have come to expect it's functionality and bullet-proofness (is that a word?) as normal operating procedure. When on someone else's mac without Default Folder, I feel like i've just had my right arm amputated.

I am very confused why it has a high rating... If you want to do your work QUICKLY, DO NOT buy this app. When a window appeared (Open and Save Dialog Window), this app will operate your mouse/cursor to do drag-and-drop operation (if you have some apps like Dropzone app, you can see a function of Dropzone was triggered during this drag-and-drop operation time), and this drag-and-drop operation must DELAY your work; if you don't wait this drag-and-drop operation and start choosing a file, it will let your file move to other place. I don’t recommend this app!!!

I've been using this app since OS9 also. I would lose so much productivity without Default Folder, this is how much time it saves. This amazing app, saves you from cycling down into folders to get to anther folder and allows you to go directly to that folder using one of the great features of saving your favorite folders. Default folders has the ability to bring up a popup menu at the mouse pointer and select any one of your favorite folders instantly. Default Folder is one of the 3 necessary app's I install on my Macs.

Fantastic app and fantastic support. Had an install problem and Jon from St Clair was back to me extremely quickly with a solution that worked first time – and I'm in a time zone very far away. Thanks!

Like it.

One of the best utility ever. 30 years and still going.. you wonder why Apple has never thought about implementing what Jon Gotow has brilliantly done.6 stars ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely wonderful! If you open files from more than 10 directories in a day then this software will save you serious time and frustration. The options can be tweaked so that the workflow is perfect for you. Highly recommended.
Jon has been incredibly responsive as well - I was really surprised.

If you are using this utility, you are wasting (some of!) your time. It's invaluable. I use it multiple times per hour, saying thanks to Jon for Default Folder X and for all the support.

Can anyone imagine that this software is around 30 years old and nonetheless functions like a charm on all modern Macs?! I’m 63 years old and have been using DefaultFolder since its early days and can’t imagine any Mac without it. It’s high time Jon Gotow (the developer) organises a museum for this venerable programme and narrates all its history since the beginning! This is the software that is older than the age of many users who are reading my writings and is still the best of its kind. Need I say more?! Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy)

I consider this essential macOS EDC. Feels like the Mac is broken when Default Folder isn't installed. Super friendly, helpful and quick to reply developer. I'm another user since ye olde OS 9, and I never think twice about paying for upgrades. The functionality is that useful.

I've been using this app since the days of OS9 (is that even possible?) It is absolutely essential for getting around dialog boxes really quick plus also for fast access to favourite folders from the desktop using key commands in the Finder. Recently, a new version broke the dialog functionality in Pro Tools and I have been so impressed with developer's dedication to fixing the problem I wanted to sing his praises on here. The support is second to none. I genuinely find this app to be the most useful utility I have ever used on the mac. Long live Default Folder X!

An essential app and time saver for me. I’m using Default Folder X for years without problems. Thanks to the developer.

This is one app that I would not go without on my Mac. I have been using it constantly since it's initial release many years ago. Default Folder is as much a time saver as Alfred and Typinator. I can access any folder via a hotkey/gesture and have Default Folder pop up a hierarchal menu at my cursor and open the file or folder I want by the time it would have taken me to open a window. You can save favorite folders that you use frequently, sets for favorite folders for different applications and so much more. Simply love this application, promise you won't be disappointed.

This is one of those apps you have to install as soon as you get a Mac. I've been using it for as long as I can remember.

I experience a more productive, and there for pleasant workflow. I am working with lots of data and apps open. Since the App is capable to adapt to the different habits presented by the other apps I use, it`s a good choice to bring extra features into play. The long Demo period let`s even an unexperienced user, find it`s way through. Can`t see any downside for giving it a try. After that, you can make an informed decision of what to make of it. I have no regrets with this one.

I can't help but writing a review when I see all these good reviews. I tried the app for a way to quickly get to folders in open/save dialogs and I didn't like this at all. It's cluttered with needless features that pop up everywhere. The only thing missing is a christmas-tree with lights and a carol going off. Despite having all these features, it lacks the simple need for app-specific favorites. Now I have to dig into a mess of favorite folders that I cannot even organize. The app feels slow and bogs down slower macs. Do this instead: create a folder called App Favorites in your home folder, drag this to the favorites bar, preferably high up in the list. Then add aliases into this folder for every folder you need to quickly get to. You can either have a long list of unorganized folders, or you can create subfolders for specific apps, or make a sorted list with a prefix in every name connected to the intended app. This method is smoother, quicker, cheaper and won't bog down your mac one tiny little bit. I'll give the app 2 stars for the default folder feature which is nice but still kind of useless since most apps handle this nicely themselves.

Kudos to the devs for keeping this alive for every new macOS version! Great tool

I have been running DF X since 2011. An essential app in my workflow. It extends Finder window with a save menu which I love. It works well with tagging files, which I do. I regularly use it to find recently worked-on files and folders. One can define shortcuts to access frequently used folders, which I often use. It's a great app that I wouldn't want to be without.

I cannot imagine using my computer without this app. It's an integral part of my daily workflow. Well designed, and very well supported.

Has very quickly become an essential app for me - how did I cope without it for so long?!? Customer service is absolutely top notch. Friendly, prompt, professional. Helped me retrieve a voucher code from 2 years ago and sort a registration problem that was likely of my own nefarious making. Very impressed with this company and their software.

Getting some permissions issues when writing back to folders located on a Windows server, which clear up after quitting D.F. OS 10.12.1, D.F. 5.1.1.

Very useful tool for organizing and working with files. Absolutely recommended if that is what you do a lot.

BTW check out the ScreenCastsOnline show for a good video guide to Default Folder X 5:
https://screencastsonline.com/mac/show/0545/

Great, just a great app. What more is there to say?

Just want to point out that in OS10.10.5 DefaultFolder litters the console with messages -- I can't remember what the message was exactly now. I reverted back to DF 4.7.9 for OS 10.10.5. St Clair may want to consider dropping OS10.10 support for DF5. When I searched to see about correcting the error, I found a thread at Apple stating basically "it can't be fixed, upgrade the OS" So.. if using OS10.10, DF4 is still the best option. DF5 will run in OS10.10, but console messages every 10 seconds can slow a system down.

Already macOS 10.12 ready ! Awesome and a big thank you to the devs for keeping this great tool alive. This is on my short list of must have tools to install.

"Added a user defaults option to ignore Finder windows that are hidden." Umm, how does one HIDE a Finder Window? I know you can hide the entire Finder when you are in another app, and that you can MINIMIZE Finder windows... but Hide? Am I having a Senior moment?

It seems that version 5 doesn't support Pathfinder anymore.

One word: Essential

First thing I install when I get a new computer. I've been using it forever and can't live without it.

For me a very important update. I use it now in 10.11.3 and everything works great. Some small problems, but most things work like a charm. A big thanks to St.Claire and now its in german too. Great. Thanky you!

This is a five-star app and always has been, but when v5 met El Capitan it was all over. Default Folder X is mainly useless in file dialogs in 10.11.x because the El Capitan bug that causes items in Finders' sidebar to disappear heavily infects Default Folder X v5. Most of the time, Default Folder X v5 is unusable, as a result, even when Finder and Path Finder are unaffected by the bug. I understand the developer can't do anything about this -- "it's an Apple bug". Too bad. Maybe someone will take the opportunity to write a modern version of this venerable old app that works with current OS X.

I love this tool but I really wish I could organize my sets as I wish or at least alphabetically.. I asked the dev about this eons ago, he said he would think about it.. he did not seem to see the point.. I do.. my brain (and most people's I would guess ?!?) works better when I can find something based on a logical setup as opposed to "when I created a set".

A "sets" list can get quite long.. I make a set per client in my set up. I never understood why it is not obvious to the dev to think of implementing such a basic option.

I've used this for years and it's invaluable. But I wanted to leave a comment for the developer. Thanks for making this upgrade a reasonable price. I have no problem paying $14.95 for an excellent upgrade and appreciate the work you had to put into it!

Actually no. I own both 4.7 and 5 and version 5 is NOT compatible with anything before OS10.11 (El Capitan). Watch your Console Logs if you have v5 installed with OS 10.10 or earlier.. you'll see many issues. And St Clair software SPECIFICALLY states that Default Folder 5 is ONLY for OS 10.11. Previous OS users should stick with v4.74. While version 5 APPEARS to run okay in legacy OS versions, there are issues which may not appear to be prevalent at first, but you'll find that the OS WindowServer starts throwing errors which can cause the Finder to slow down or even hang. Pay attention tot eh developer -- there's a REASON they state v5 is ONLY for El Capitan users.

Version 5.x is also compatible with OS X 10.9. The requirements on MacUpdate incorrectly list that it only works with 10.10 or later.

I've been using this since version 1, and was a beta tester for version 5. Due to changes in Mac OS X, this is a complete rewrite, but still has the basic behavior that many of us have come to depend on. My favorite new feature (which at first I was not sure about) is that it will display a small preview right in the file open window when you select an image file. That's great for finding the image you want in a folder full of images.

If you purchased a license for version 4.x after June 1, 2015, it's a free upgrade; otherwise, it's $14.95 to upgrade

Same for me: can't live without it!

For me DFX is an essential time and frustration saver. It took me less than 5 seconds to decide to upgrade. I've been using the v 5 betas with no problems. Seems faster than version 4

I use to run it and like it but with the exchange on the CDN vs the Greenback ($34.95 US $54.14 CAD) I won't be.

An great new version that now supports SIP for OS X 10.11. I've always like the app and the new version brings its set of new features. I didn't hesitate to upgrade :-)

The El Capitan edition beta is available now: http://www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/beta.html Although it's still in beta, I tested with all Adobe CC apps, most well-known apps (about 30 of them including Pixelmator, Affinity apps, etc.), all Apple apps (iWork, etc.) and it seems to work with every single one of them without any noticeable issues. It's a complete rewrite, it fully takes advantage of Apple APIs, and most importantly, it is still very useful when doing a lot of opening and saving of files. It's a nice addition to your workflow. Must have if you do design/development work.

Oh dear, I've only just updated to El Capitan to allow for as many apps as possible to be working with it. I'd already come to terms with not using Total Finder (which hurts), but I didn't realise Default Folder was not completely ready yet! Had I have known, I wouldn't have upgraded to the new operating system. That's how important this app is. Actually, it's a bit of a concern that its still not ready.

still no El Capitan compatibility...... c'mon guy's

Sure seems to be taking a very long time to get the El Capitan update.

A must have for productivity. Only complaint would be on the icons (in app as well) - they don't go very well with OS X after they flatten everything.

6th sense.. I decided to come and check if.. maybe, went to look at your blog.. and boom.. here it is the Beta :0) So far it works well, looks better than it used to.. Feels like a new ear for te ever wonderful Default Folder !!!!! Been with me for so long I could not imagine losing u :0) You kick ass !!!

I'm checking almost every day for El Capitan compatibility. It's amazing how much I miss this app that is one of the first items installed on any new computer, going back to OS9. It's also amazing that something as useful (more like essential) as this has not become a part of the OS.

This is one of the top three utilities I always install first on a new computer (the other ones being SuperDuper! and FinderPop (RIP with 10.11) ). In the time since 10.11 has come out I have missed DF's functionality so much and I can now truly appreciate its value. I don't think I have had an OS X system ever without DF --- it is crazy how different file management is, and how less productive without DF.

It seems like a lot of long term developers will be effected by this restrictive and microsoft like new "innovation" from Apple. Having said that and also being a very long time user of DFX I can use Keyboard Maestro which I also own to duplicate everything I currently use in default folder X. Hopefully there are a number of clever people already working on a way of keeping SIP active but allowing applications to modify the system never the less. Wake up Apple - you are heading down the wrong road.

This is the only app/utility I can think of that runs in all versions of OS X from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to 10.10.3 Yosemite. I don't know how the Jon does it, but it means that every update applies to Default Folder in five iterations of OS X. Kudos.

A remote server that to which I was logged in through the finder went down (its icon was still on the desktop). When I clicked on the DF menubar button the DF window flipped down and hanged there forever (DF froze). Even after I turned off DF from the control panel and relaunched the finder, the window was hanging there and any function of DF didn't work. I had to logout-login to resolve this problem. At the moment I turned DF off till a fix for that will be developed. I give 3 stars as this is a major issue for me.

After all those years, this is still a must have app. Great support, great value for money.

Must have for all power users. Looks great, works great, great support.

I wish I had more than just 2 thumbs (up) to give St. Clair Software. Jon is always on top of system revisions and is more than just responsive to customer feedback. The bug in Yosemite that causes the file selector to grow every time it is accessed in Save dialogs was driving me up the wall. It was particularly irksome in Chrome...while Mozilla developers and Apple were busy pointing fingers at each other, St. Clair Software fixed it. Default Folder has been an essential utility on my Macs for 25 years and it's as useful and relevant today as it was when I first purchased it.

I love Default Folder! I am surprised that Apple hasn't built the same functions in the OS.

One of those rare programs that is so nice I can't imagine a computer without it.

Each time OS X is updated, I worry that I will no longer be able to use this, my most invaluable "must-have" utility...but the developer has never let me down. Default Folder is as relevant and useful now as it was so many years ago when I first installed it. And it works just as well today with Yosemite as it did with every OS version it's been updated for since its debut. I wouldn't want to be without it.

I have used this since I started using Macs - think Proforma! It is invaluable and I forget that it is not part of the system software. The developer refreshes it regularly and it is a great product. Highly recommended.

Wonderful tools. Use it for years without many problems. A bit expensive though.

For some reason this version (4.6.7) is not working with the Yosemite public beta. Everything seems fine, but DF's toolbar/bezel doesn't show on Open/Save windows. I had to uninstall and go back to 4.6.7d1.

For me one of the most important addons of the finder! It is a very comfortable preference pane which now runs in nearly all versions of MacOS. At the moment I use it in 10.9.4 and Yosemite beta 1. When I am at my friend who doesn't own default folder, I can't understand how he can work on his Mac without it. With it it is so easy to navigate through hundreds of folders on several hard drives and save or open a file at its exact place. And it has many additions too which make working on a Mac more easy. Default folder always is updated if any problem occurs and the price stays the same for years. St. Clair Software thank you for this!

I notice that as of the last two versions it can't see all the Finder windows open if you are using XtraFinder; it only sees the front window.

To the folks complaining about Cmd-D: Please read the "WHAT'S NEW, Version 4.6.5". It states -- To be consistent with the Finder, the Desktop is now accessed within file dialogs using Cmd-Shift-D. Thank you and have a good day!

The first thing I noticed with this new version is the same as others are saying - "command d" no longer goes to desktop. I can't find a way to get that shortcut back. Any suggestion would be appreciated. BTW - I love the app and use it constantly.

In this latest version Command-D always leads to a copy in Open and Save dialogs instead of going to the Dekstop as it was before!

DF is a must have app. It is a time-saver. I use it for a long time. In the last version, there seems to be a shortcut issue.

Cmd-D worked fine to get to Desktop on Snow Leopard. Now it's the default to duplicate stuff. Going back to previous version.

Since this new version it seems the shortcuts in the File Dialog are broken. For instance Desktop (Command-shift-D), Applications (Command-shift-A), Home (Command-shift-H) and so on don't work anymore in my case. Anyone else experiencing this issue..?

I can't imagine how many hours Default Folder has saved me over the many years I've used it now. To be able to move quickly to recent and favourite folders, or navigate via a dialogue box to the window open in the Finder, or to click on a file name to save typing ... It all adds up to hours and hours and hours. And that means productivity. It's stable, functional, logical and intuitive, and has more features than I'm ever going to need. Nothing else has ever come close. Recommended without reservation.

This is another Darwinian evolution theory at its best - at least for a software! Since its first release in the late 80’s Default Folder has been continuously evolving from a tiny simple utility to a complex multifunctional app that can handle nearly everything you throw at it. I’m one of the lucky Mac users who have witnessed all its evolutionary path since its beginning until today and have never stopped admiring all the software engineering that has gone into it. Maybe it’s one of the rare cases that evolutionists and creationists agree on one thing: it's the most venerable “revolutionary” product for the Mac ever designed/created - bar none! Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy)

I've been using this for years and personally find it exceptionally useful (especially the click on a folder window in the finder to navigate there in the open/save dialog feature). St. Clair software is very responsive and regularly updates the product. What's not to like? Give it a try and see if it meets your needs.

Default Folder X is one of the few mac utilities that I find indispensable. As has been noted in other reviews, the feature set is one of the obviously-missing aspects of OS X. As is the case for all of these system add-on utilities, active development is key. Over the years, I have had a few cases where Default Folder X does not behave as expected and in every case the developer responded quickly and with a helpful solution.

Heads-up: Elite Keylogger Pro is currently part a of software bundle elsewhere in the software world that will cease Default Folder X from working. You must uninstall Elite Keylogger Pro in order to re-establish Default Folder X’s functions. I did not discover this solution, it was discovered by another user, but I did undergo the symptom and worked with Default Folder X’s developer (whom I have nothing but high-praise) to try to resolve this issue. If you need to use both Default Folder X and Elite Keylogger Pro I urge you contact WideStep (the developer of Elite Keylogger Pro) at: http://www.widestep.com/elite-keylogger-mac

No question, Default Folder ist indispensable, and I've been using it now formally, many years. For this reason, it's getting on my nerves that with each and every update, it also asks for permission to install a scripting addition. I doubt this is really necessary.

Default Folder remains the most obvious system implementation/augmentation Apple hasn't usurped. There is no way I could ever go back to Open And Save dialogs without all of this functionality.

I was using v4.6.2 and had enabled the "Enable Finder-click (choose a folder by clicking on its Finder window)" option just like I always have it enabled, but it doesn't seem to work, instead selecting the Finder every time I clicked in an open folder window where I want to save a file to. So I've gone back to v4.6.1 and everything is sweet again. Anyone else with this little problem?

Version 4.6.2's Default Folder X Helper keeps crashing continuously on my Snow Leopard (10.6.8) MacBook Pro. Reverted back to version 4.6.1 and the crashing stopped.
