What's new in this version:

New features:
- There's an alternate style for Default Folder X's icon in the menu bar. You can change it in the General tab of the settings
- The keyboard shortcuts for search options in the Quick Search window have changed and are now configurable in Settings > Shortcuts
- Hitting the Quick Search keyboard shortcut twice in a row will pop up the window with a search mode of "All"
- In Quick Search, Command+Down Arrow steps through your previous searches
- Quick Search now remembers your selected search mode across restarts
- Applications in /System/Library/CoreServices will not be remembered in the Recent Apps history
- The Finder toolbar menu will include the About / Settings / Help / Quit menu if Default Folder X's icon is turned off in the menu bar
- Removed the option to hold down the Command key to open a folder in Terminal. This conflicted with the standard use of the Command key to reveal an item in the Finder
- You can turn on a setting to disable Default Folder X's detection of apps that have custom dark themes. This reduces the frequency of notifications in Sonoma's menu bar telling you that Default Folder X is capturing your screen. Use this command in Terminal: "defaults write com.stclairsoft.DefaultFolderX5 toolbarIgnoresAppDarkMode 1"
- Inclusion of files and folders synced by cloud services is now disabled by default
- Improved the appearances of the menu bar icon and Finder toolbar icons

Dixed:
- Fixed a conflict which prevented TextExpander from working in Save dialogs
- Resolved a bug that caused performance and stability problems on macOS 12 and earlier
- Worked around a bug in Sonoma that sends keyboard input to the wrong text field in Save dialogs
- Fixed a problem with the Finder toolbar buttons being unresponsive until Default Folder X was relaunched
- Corrected a problem during drag and drop operations with menus not displaying folders that have large numbers of items
- Fixed a problem with Save Action settings not being synced properly between Macs when iCloud sync is turned on
- Fixed a crash that occurred when the menu bar menu was configured to have the About / Settings / Help / Quit items above another menu item
- When validating a license, Default Folder X will always try to connect to our server so connection management apps like Little Snitch will prompt you to allow it. Previously, it wouldn't trigger Little Snitch because it wouldn't even try to connect after the system told it the host was unreachable
- Corrected a bug in which some keyboard shortcuts couldn't be changed in Settings > Folders > Favorites after deleting a favorite
- Changed license prompts to ensure consistent use of the term "License number" instead of "Serial number"
- Resolved a conflict that caused SnagIt's mouse tracking to slow down when taking screenshots
