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:

- Corrected a bug that could cause Default Folder X to hang when you opened a Microsoft Word file stored on a SharePoint volume.
- After dragging items to a folder in the Finder drawer, the destination folder is opened with the newly moved or copied items selected.
- When dragging multiple files and / or folders to Default Folder X's menu bar icon or Finder drawer, the prompt to replace existing items now has an "Apply to All" checkbox.
- You can restrict searches in Quick Search by preceding them with "all:", "files:", "folders:", "apps:", "recent:", "favorite:", "finder:", "spotlight:". This works when typing in the Quick Search window or when invoking saved searches using URLs like defaultfolderx://QuickSearch?folders:searchstring, and is the same as selecting those options from the search menu.
- Corrected problems with Default Folder X failing to list and show Finder labels and colors if your Finder preferences were incomplete.
- Quick Search could sometimes include results that didn't completely match the current search. This has been fixed.
- Fixed a problem that prevented the Copy 'Em app from working properly in Save As dialogs.
- Improved error detection and reporting when syncing Default Folder X's settings via iCloud.
- There's an option in the Additional Settings to always hide the sidebar in file dialogs. Hold down the Option key when choosing "Settings" to get to it.

The "defaultfolderx" URL scheme has new options to check for updates and bring up Default Folder X's About box:
- defaultfolderx://Update
- defaultfolderx://About
