What's new in this version:

- Compatible with High Sierra (macOS 10.13)
- The Finder-click feature's "choose the desktop" option now highlights the desktop with "holes" where Finder windows are located
- You can now enter relative paths for Favorites. If you use a consistent structure for organizing projects, it can be very helpful to set a favorite such as "../images/" to go to an adjacent "images" folder and be able to use the same folder in multiple locations. To enter a relative favorite, choose "Add Path or URL" after clicking the '+' icon in Default Folder X > Preferences > Folders > Favorites
- Previews for aliases are now displayed correctly, rather than just showing the file's alias icon
- Default Folder X no longer adds duplicate tags when you use the macOS-supplied tag field in Save dialogs
- Fixed a bug that caused unsaved comments or tags to disappear if you switched from a Save dialog to another application and then back to the Save dialog
- Default Folder X’s drawer no longer appears when you enter Time Machine
- Open and Save dialogs that appear as floating windows instead of normal modal dialogs are now handled correctly
- Fixed a bug that could cause Default Folder X to incorrectly remember the last state of a Save dialog
- Corrected UI glitches in Finder-click when using Default Folder X's "Minimal Toolbar" appearance
- Icons in the Drop Zone are now loaded when they're needed, eliminating problems with the icons appearing blank when they can't be supplied by QuickLook at startup
- Switching folders using Default Folder X's menus now works consistently in file dialogs brought up when changing preferences
- Fixed a problem with Default Folder X getting confused in certain situations when you clicked on an alias in column view
- Eliminated flashing in the user interface when you click on a disclosure triangle in a Save dialog
- Corrected improper scaling of preview images that could occur in some circumstances
- Fixed a crash that could occur when clicking on the sidebar in file dialogs
- Added an API that allows software developers to disable Default Folder X for special file dialogs in their Mac applications
- Added a warning about Tencent's QQ chat app because it disables DFX's folder switching feature
- Several memory leaks and potential crashes have been eliminated
- Updated Default Folder X's icon
