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:

New features:
- In the Quick Search window, you can now browse through all recent items by hitting the Down Arrow key when there's no search string
- Added Command-L as a default keyboard shortcut for "Enter Filename" in Save dialogs so you can easily move back to the filename edit field
- Changed the layout of items in the Finder drawer so they're clustered together in the center rather than distributed across the entire width of the drawer
- In Default Folder X > Settings > Recent, "Forget All Recently Used Items" now also removes recent Applications and the "rebound" history
