Default Folder X 4.3.5

Default Folder X... Recently rated 5 mice by MacUser UK and 4.5 mice by Macworld, 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.
Default Folder also fixes a number of problems in Open and Save dialogs, "rebounding" back to the last selected file, putting the path listing back in the top menu, and correcting bugs in scrolling column views.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 4.3.5:
- Fixed an error which could leave Default Folder X's controls on-screen after a Save dialog was dismissed.
- There's now a switch to disable the updating of OpenMeta tags. The latest version of OpenMeta uses different names for its tags, and therefore has to convert all your existing tags to the new format. This can use a lot of CPU time, so you may want to wait and do it while your computer is idle. Note that if you use Default Folder X for OpenMeta tagging, your old tags must be converted before Default Folder X will see them. However, if you only use tagging in a specific context, such as in your email using MailTags, you can safely disable the tag conversion. To turn off tag updating, option-click on the Settings button in Default Folder X's preferences, then turn on the DisableOpenMetaUpgrade checkbox.
- Default Folder X now remembers the width of the sidebar in Open and Save dialogs. Resize it once and it will be the same size the next time.
- Solved the problem of the Default Folder X Addition.osax file getting moved to the Trash every time Default Folder X was restarted.
- A white 'ghost' of Default Folder X's controls no longer appears after a file dialog has been dismissed.
- Preferences were not always saved when you restarted your Mac. This has been fixed.
- Default Folder X is now compatible with the latest release of Cinema4D (version 11.528).
- There's no longer a long delay when you use the Get Info command from within the Default Folder X application or from the menubar menu.
- If a floating window popped up (in PTHPasteboard, for example) while Default Folder X was displaying its rename dialog or another modal window, the application owning the current Open or Save As dialog could hang. This has been fixed.
- Default Folder X's logic for remembering and restoring the size and position of file dialogs has been improved.
- Default Folder X's controls now correctly show and hide themselves in Save As PDF dialogs.
- Numeric sorting works correctly in hierarchical menus ("Folder 1", then "Folder 2", then "Folder 12").
- When expanding a Save As dialog using the little triangle next to the filename box, Default Folder X's windows no longer flicker.
- The keyboard equivalent shown in the Recent Folders menu now has one arrow instead of two when running under Snow Leopard.
- The appearance and disappearance of the Default Folder X bezel is now smoother.
- Text is no longer truncated in the Info window of the French version.
- Default Folder X uses the latest version of OpenMeta.
