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

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!
