What's new in this version:

- The width of the sidebar in file dialogs is now saved and restored, working around a bug in Big Sur 11.2
- Holding down the Option key while switching folder sets will open all Favorites from that set in the Finder
- Default Folder X supports searching with the version of HoudahSpot available on Setapp in addition to the standalone version from Houdah Software
- Previously, when you chose a file from the Recent Files menu in a file dialog that was already displaying the folder containing that file, Default Folder X would select the file but wouldn't open it. The file is now correctly opened when you choose it from the menu. This also fixes a similar bug when sending a search result from HoudahSpot to Default Folder X.
- Incorporated additional workarounds for disappearing cursor problems on Big Sur
- Fixed some minor user interface issues in the Preferences window
