What's new in this version:

- Fixed a problem with Default Folder X not recognizing the currently selected file or folder in some Open and Save dialogs on High Sierra. This caused previews, comments and tags to be missing in DFX's attribute window, as well as causing Copy, Rename, Move to Trash, and other commands to fail
- When Default Folder X relaunches the Finder after adding or removing itself from Finder window toolbars, windows that are open in the Finder will be properly saved and restored
- You can now enter relative paths with spaces in them when using Default Folder X > Preferences > Folders > Favorites > + > Add Path or URL
- If you add an application to Default Folder X's exception list and that application is already running, Default Folder X will now warn you that you have to quit and relaunch the app before changes will take effect
- Fixed a problem with packaged files (such as RapidWeaver documents) not getting added to Default Folder X's recent file history
- Corrected a bug that could cause Default Folder X's preference file converter to crash when importing v4 preferences
- Folder switching did not work correctly in Pro Tools' Import Audio file dialog. This has been fixed
- If an alias is selected, Default Folder X will show a preview of the original file or folder
