Features and Highlights
    
Directory Assistant
Access your recent, favorite, and open folders from DFX's toolbar. Hierarchical pop-up menus let you quickly navigate through folders to get to your files.  
     
Real Time Saving
If you're constantly saving things inside the same folder, DFX can remember that folder for you. Or you can set it as the default folder for an application so you're in the right folder from the start.
    
Finder Management
DFX lets you open up or save to any Finder window with a single click. It also lets you get info on, duplicate, rename, and delete existing files, putting the Finder's power in every Open and Save dialog.        

Instant Recall
To help you quickly return to folders and files you've used recently, DFX remembers them for you. It even re-selects the last file you opened. With DFX, you'll never forget where you put something.
    
At Your Fingertips
Get places fast by using keyboard shortcuts for your favorite folders. Or jump to recent folders and open Finder windows with a keystroke. DFX's shortcuts are completely configurable.        

Spotlight on the Spot
Tag your files or edit your Spotlight comments from within any Open or Save dialog. Don't remember what tags you used before? DFX shows you all of your recently used tags - just drag and drop.

Note: 30 days trial version. Requires 64-bit processor.

What's new in this version:

- Corrected an issue on Sequoia that could result in various problems, including the failure of Finder-click, items not activating in Save dialogs, and user interface elements showing when they shouldn't
- The handling of Finder labels has been completely revamped. Label colors now show correctly in Default Folder X's menus and Information panel.
- Fixed a bug in the Recent Folders and Recent Files menus that could cause errors if you delete a large number of recent items on disk
- Default Folder X would sometimes keep the last previewed file open after using an Open dialog. This has been fixed.
- Quick Search puts more weight on how recently you used an item when sorting your search results
- A warning is displayed when Default Folder X encounters a conflict with BetterMouse
