What's new in this version:

Feature enhancements:
- There is now a preference to choose between color and black & white icons for Default Folder X's toolbar
- The Compress command can now archive multiple items within any subfolder in a file dialog's file list
- Application-specific folders on iCloud Drive are now badged with the application's icon
- The prompts guiding you through authorizing Default Folder X in System Preferences have been greatly improved
- Default Folder X will automatically fix and relaunch itself if Gatekeeper Path Randomization makes it run from a temporary folder. This eliminates repeated "Do you want to relaunch the Finder" prompts that would occur under certain conditions
- Your license information is now kept in a separate file. This avoids bugs in the macOS preference system that could make Default Folder X forget that you're a licensed user. It may still forget when you install the 5.2 update, but that will no longer occur with subsequent updates

Bug fixes:
- Display and navigation of folders on iCloud Drive (including the Desktop and Documents folders) is now correct
- Items in iCloud Drive are correctly tracked by the recent files and recent folders menus when running on High Sierra
- The sizes of packaged files and applications are shown correctly in the Preview and Info panels of Open dialogs
- Fixed a bug which could result in Default Folder X failing to recognized the iCloud Drive folder in certain situations
- The toolbar no longer comes up underneath the Dock when the Dock is positioned on the side of the screen
- The color icons for the toolbar and the iCloud icon are more attractive
- The license entry window can no longer get lost under other windows
- Fixed minor bugs, memory leaks and infrequent crashes
