Reviewed by: Jason Parker on April 07, 2009

Default Folder X is a system preference pane that can save you a lot of time finding and flipping through folders, especially when opening and saving files. The primary interface pops up with every open and save dialog, across all your applications, giving you faster access to multiple folders and commands. You can jump to favorite and recently used folders (even by clicking on open windows), enter Spotlight metatags, and even manage files and folders right from the dialog--so you don't need to go to the Finder for simple tasks like renaming and deleting. Default Folder X also lets you "rebound" to the last file you were using, and you can work with recent and favorite folders right from the dock or menubar. This app may be a little expensive, but some will find that its smart, time-saving functionality quickly pays for itself.

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 OpenMeta tags for documents in the Save As dialog, while you're saving them.

What's new in this version:

• Improved Default Folder X's tracking of recently used folders.


• Corrected a bug which could cause files to be saved to the wrong folder when using column view.


• Worked around a bug in Snow Leopard that caused folder switching and rebound to fail when a mounted server's disk had the same name as a folder on your startup drive (such as Users, Applications or Library).


• Default Folder X no longer tries to resolve aliases to... see all new features
