What's new in this version:

Feature enhancements:
- Default Folder X supports macOS 10.14 Mojave
- You can now add separators to your Favorites menu to visually organize it
- Default Folder X tracks recently-opened files more intelligently, recognizing files that the system’s Recent Items list doesn’t see
- When showing and hiding its drawer in the Finder, Default Folder X will resize Finder windows to ensure that the drawer is visible on the screen
- Tooltips for items in the drawer are intelligently displayed to ensure they're on-screen
- iBooks, Books and Newtek LightWave are now supported

Bug fixes:
- Previews of items in the drag zone or drawer are now correctly sized to keep them from flickering
- When relaunching the Finder, the Finder would occasionally quit but not relaunch. This has been corrected.
- Finder drawers now remain visible if you're dragging and dropping an item and the Finder auto-opens the folder to which you're dragging the item
- Corrected a bug that resulted in Default Folder X being slow to recognize the current folder in file dialogs set to Column View and sorted by date
- Default Folder X's exclusion list failed to work with Java apps and apps that could not be brought to the front. This has been fixed
- Eliminated a crash that could occur when opening the Preferences window
