CNET editors' review

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's toolbar appears almost instantaneously next to Open and Save dialogs, eliminating the lag that used to occur.
  • The preview window now allows you to play audio files.
  • Open Office 3 is now fully supported.
  • Occasional windowing problems that occurred with Spaces in Mac OS 10.5 have been corrected.
  • The contents of disks which use the FAT32 format are correctly sorted in Default Folder X's hierarchical menus.
