For all the wonderful things that OS X does, flipping through folders while opening and saving documents remains a hassle. This award-winning app attaches a toolbar to the side of all your Open and Save dialogs, providing quick access to multiple folders and commands. You can jump to favorite and recently used folders, or even manage files and folders right from the dialog (so you don't need to go to the Finder for simple tasks such as renaming and deleting). Default Folder also lets you assign hot keys and work with recent items right from the Dock. We're not crazy about the price, but this kind of smart, time-saving functionality is difficult to pass up.
Recently rated 5 mice by MacUser UK and 4.5 mice by Macworld, Default Folder X attaches a toolbar to your 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 adds the ability to see zoomable previews in Open dialogs and to save Spotlight comments and set Finder labels for documents in the Save As dialog, while you're saving them.
What's new in this version:
This is a public beta version meant for testing by people who have encountered problems or want an early look at new features. Changes in this build include:
Fixed a problem with Default Folder X's hotkeys and system menu not working when Mail.app was set as a login item.
Fixed a bug in which dragging a file onto Mail.app in the Dock would create two messages instead of one.
The info panel now correctly shows the size of application packages and other package... see all new features
Cons: In my opinion... and I feel I might upset many users out there... I found this software too cumbersome for regular use. I recognize the flaws with the save dialog box within OS X but this is too much.
