What's new in this version:

- Default Folder X works correctly in the Save dialog of Mojave's enhanced screenshot utility (Command-Shift-5)
- You can now search folders with HoudahSpot and send results from HoudahSpot to waiting file dialogs. The latter requires the upcoming HoudahSpot 5
- Fixed a bug that could cause the wrong file to be chosen if you selected a file from the Recent Files menu that the current application couldn't open
- Default Folder X will no longer hide its controls when LaunchBar's quick entry window pops up. This allows you to run AppleScripts from LaunchBar that use Default Folder X's scripting commands
- Clicking on the '+' icon in Default Folder X's Finder drawer now adds the currently selected item from the associated Finder or Path Finder window
- Fixed the popup previews in the Finder drawer so they enlarge properly and display the names of items correctly in Dark Mode
- Default Folder X's Finder drawer will no longer get in the way of the Finder's tagging popup
- Corrected interface glitches that occurred when removing items from the Finder drawer
- Fixed a problem with the Finder drawer hiding itself when you dragged a file in Path Finder
- Open and Save sheets that span the entire width of the screen will no longer cause Default Folder X to stall
- Default Folder X's folder switching is more reliable when used with third party keyboard and mouse drivers
- Fixed problems when Default Folder X is used with some third party mice that have more than 3 buttons
- The alert requesting permission to control the Finder is now more user-friendly
- Fixed a number of user-interface and VoiceOver issues
- Corrected compatibility issues with CopyPaste Pro

There are two new "hidden settings". Hold down the Option key and choose Default Folder X > Preferences from the menu bar to access them:
- The Finder-click feature can now change the view mode of a file dialog to match that of the clicked Finder window
- You can set a minimum width and height that Default Folder X will ensure for all file dialogs
