Following is a complete revision history for Default Folder. For our Japanese users, a Japanese version of this document is available here, courtesy of Takanori Taniguchi.

• Version 3.1.5 includes the following changes:
  • For the security-conscious, Default Folder's recent folder menu now includes a "Forget recent folders" command so Default Folder won't let others know where you've been.
  • A bug was corrected that prevented Default Folder from adding a folder containing a double-clicked file to the Recent Folders list.
  • Default Folder will no longer disable Navigation Services in any Carbon application, regardless of the settings in Default Folder's preferences. Carbon applications require Navigation Services in order to function correctly.

• Version 3.1.4 adds the following enhancements:
  • Registration codes for Default Folder X are now recognized by Default Folder (Default Folder X includes a copy of Default Folder 3.1.4 for use in the Classic environment).
  • The Default Folder Strip control strip module now allows you to delete favorite and recent folders by holding down the delete key while selecting a folder from the menu.
  • Default Folder now knows about more applications that require Navigation Services.

• Version 3.1.3 includes the following changes:
  • There's now an option to have Default Folder show the Finder's windows if they're hidden when a file dialog comes up. Cmd-option-click on the Prefs button for access to this setting.
  • After creating a new folder from within a file dialog, the folder is now correctly selected if "Open folder after creating it" is not chosen.
  • After registering, the number of recent folders is automatically increased to 10 if it was previously forced to 2 by expiration of the 30 day trial period.
  • Corrected a bug that could cause applications to crash when they tried to display a file dialog while the option key was down. This affected Eudora Pro, among others.
  • Errors are now correctly handled when importing folder sets and when using the Default Folder Substitutions extension.
  • Default Folder now knows about more applications that require Navigation Services.

• Version 3.1.2 adds the following enhancements and improvements:
  • Default Folder's Get Info command can now change Finder Labels on files and folders.

  • Fixed problems with Carbon applications that use non-Carbon plug-in's or system services (including the AdobePS printer driver).
  • Resolved a conflict between Extensions Strip and the Default Folder CSM.
  • Cmd-up-arrow now correctly moves up from the root level of a hard disk to the Desktop Folder in Navigation Services dialogs.
  • Fixed a conflict between Default Folder, Photoshop 6.0.1, and the Kodak CMS Photo CD plug-in.

• Version 3.1.1 includes the following compatibility fixes:
  • Default Folder now supports the new Navigation Services dialogs used by Adobe Acrobat 5 and Photoshop 6.0.1.
  • Corrected a problem that could cause Omnis database queries to execute slowly.
  • Cmd-up-arrow now works correctly in Navigation Services dialogs under Mac OS 8.6.

  • Finder "Get Info" comments can now be changed in Default Folder's Get Info dialogs.
  • The command-up-arrow keyboard shortcut works in Nav Services Save dialogs even when keyboard focus is in the edit box.

  • Default Folder now works correctly in all Save As dialogs displayed by the LaserWriter 8 printer driver.
  • Fixed a bug in the Default Folder Control Strip module that caused crashes when it was used with Kaleidoscope installed.
  • Added an option in the "Expert Options" dialog to speed up the Recent menu in Nav Services dialogs. Inclusion of recent files can now be turned off.

• Version 3.0.9 corrects a single problem that could cause Default Folder to crash during startup on PowerPC Macintoshes running Mac OS 8.1 or prior.

• Version 3.0.8 adds compatibility with Mac OS 9.1 and OS X Classic, AppleScript support, and a number of compatibility fixes:
  • Default Folder now runs correctly in the Classic environment under OS X .
  • Carbon applications running under Mac OS 9.1 are now supported.
  • Navigation Services can now be turned off on an application-by- application basis.
  • A new SetFileDialogFolder scripting addition allows AppleScripts to set the folder displayed by Standard File and Navigation Services dialogs.
  • An option was added in the "expert preferences" to force Default Folder to add invisible folders to the Recent Folders menu. This works around a bug in Windows NT Server.
  • "Remove deleted folders from the menu" option now works with the control strip module as well as in file dialogs.
  • When checking for deleted folders, Default Folder also checks the names of folders in the Recent Folder list and updates the menu if they change.
  • More rigorous checking for corrupted preferences prevents crashes at startup if the prefs file is damaged.
  • Compatibility problems with MPW and QuicKeys 5 have been resolved.
  • "Instant registration" has been added. Default Folder can now be purchased and automatically registered online through eSellerate.

• Version 3.0.7 corrects a significant compatibility problem, as well as resolving a few less serious issues:
  • The Recent Folders menu in old-style Standard File dialogs could becomes scrambled when Internet Explorer 5 was running on some Macs. This bug could cause the application to quit or the Mac to crash under some circumstances.
  • Default Folder will no longer add folders to the Recent Folder list if they are invisible or if they are nested within invisible folders.
  • Default Folder's popup menu will no longer display when the Default Folder control panel is open. The popup menu was preventing some users from accessing the "expert settings" by cmd-option-clicking on the Prefs button.
  • The popup menu in the Finder has been fixed. The Sets submenu now works correctly, and the menu organization is more logical.
  • The popup menu can no longer be configured to pop up with no modifier keys. Doing so makes the Finder almost impossible to use, so that particular setting combination was pointless.

• Version 3.0.6 adds a new popup menu in the Finder and fixes a serious data corruption problem:
  • A bug that could cause corruption of Default Folder's preference file was found and fixed.
  • A new popup menu was added to provide access to favorite and recently used folders in the Finder.
  • Corrected problems with "click on greyed-out filenames" working sporadically in Navigation Services dialogs.
  • Fixed several memory leaks that occurred when Navigation Services dialogs were used.
  • A conflict with Apple Address Book, a component of Apple's European telecom software, has been resolved.
  • AppleWorks 6 and PowerMail have been added to the exception list of applications that require Navigation Services.

• Version 3.0.5 adds Default Folder's much-awaited "click on greyed-out filenames" feature to Navigation Services save dialogs, as well as correcting two compatibility problems:
  • Clicking on a greyed-out filename in a Navigation Services "Save As" dialog box now copies the name into the edit field for use as the new file name.
  • Default Folder 3.0.5 now includes a checkbox in its Command Keys preferences to turn off the cmd-number keyboard shortcuts that open favorite folders in the Finder.
  • Errors which occurred when running Default Folder in limited user mode under Mac OS 9 have been fixed.
  • Default Folder's menus did not appear in the first Navigation Services dialog displayed by a Java application running under the MRJ 2.2 Java VM. This has been fixed.
  • Default Folder's Get Info and Rename commands did not report errors well. The commands now correctly report error conditions.
  • Due to changes made by Apple the "Use generic icons" option in Default Folder's Appearance preferences does not work under Mac OS 9. This option is automatically disabled under Mac OS 9 to avoid confusion.
  • Default Folder no longer allows users to supply folder and file names which include a ':' or exceed the maximum 31 character limit of the Mac OS.
  • Default Folder will no longer freeze when trying to delete locked aliases in the Favorites folder.

• Version 3.0.4 fixes a Mac OS 9 compatibility problem and adds multi-user support:
  • Mac OS 9's Multiple User feature is now supported. When users log in and out, Default Folder will automatically load their private preference files.
  • Folder's created with Default Folder's "New Folder" command now correctly inherit the view mode (list, icon, etc.) of their parent folder.
  • An incompatiblity with Carbon 1.0 applications, specifically Mac OS 9's Script Editor, have been fixed.
