Reviewed by: Jason Parker on December 01, 2008

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.

Publisher's description

From St. Clair Software :

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:

  • Default Folder X now works correctly in Word 2008, Fetch, and other Carbon applications that display sheets on windows that have toolbars.
  • Fixed a problem with the preview window disappearing in Carbon applications running under Mac OS 10.4.
  • After renaming a folder, the new folder is now always correctly selected.
  • Corrected selection and window activation problems.
  • Added a hidden setting to make Finder-click show Finder windows even when the Finder is... see all new features

    Version: Default Folder X 4.0.2

    "Great help"

    by waldstille on March 12, 2008

    Pros: I am delighted to have the right folders on hand when I have to save a document, instead of having to wade through the layers of menu. Also when I open an application.

    Cons: I would like to have two default folders instead of one for certain applications (my photos are separated into two different folders placed far from one another, so when I open Graphic Converter, the one that I've set as the default is not always the one I want). Perhaps this is possible, I haven't yet had time to explore in detail. In any case the other one is easily accessible with Default Folder. This is one software programI am definitely going to buy.
