What's new in this version:

Feature enhancements:
- Added a new "Recently Closed" submenu to the Finder Windows menu so you can easily re-open recently closed Finder windows
- When the Hide Extension checkbox is turned on in a Save dialog, Default Folder X will ensure that the resulting file has its extension hidden in applications that don't properly support extension hiding (like Google Chrome)
- Added better workarounds for a bug in High Sierra that prevents Default Folder X from knowing which item is selected in a file dialog
- Added an option (available with a Terminal command) to make Default Folder X use color icons in its toolbar. Enter this command in Terminal: "defaults write com.stclairsoft.DefaultFolderX5 colorToolbar 1"

Bug fixes:
- The green gumdrop on the preferences window is now enabled or disabled correctly depending on whether the current preference tab is resizable
- Desktop and Documents folders on iCloud could sometimes confuse Default Folder X. It now correctly handles them
- Fixed a potential crash that could occur when Default Folder X relaunched the Finder
- Fixed a bug that could cause Default Folder X to crash at random times
