Default Folder X 4.2 now offers file tagging using the emerging
OpenMeta standard, as well as delivering other new features and compatiblity
fixes. We recommend that all Default Folder X 4 users update to this version.
This update is FREE if you own a license for version 4, or if
you purchased a new version 3 license or upgrade on
or after June 1, 2007. If you have an older copy of Default Folder X, there
is a $14.95 upgrade fee for this version. If
you need to purchase an upgrade, you can do so by
clcking here.
What's new in Default Folder X 4.2

- OpenMeta tags are now supported in the Spotlight window below Save As dialogs
and in the Info window below Open dialogs. After tagging a file with "MyTag",
you can use Spotlight to search for it by typing "tag:
MyTag".
- A new AppleScript command, ClearRecentFolders, clears the list of recently used folders in the currently active folder set.
- This release is compatible with the latest development build of Mac OS 10.6
(Snow Leopard).
- If you turn on the option "Hold down the option key while choosing Open
to display all files" in
the Advanced settings, you will also be shown all invisible folders if you
hold down the option key while selecting Save As.
- There's a new (but hidden) option to display files as well as folders in
all hierarchical menus. Option-click on "Settings" to find the checkbox.
- Fixed a bug that resulted in Spotlight comments not being saved when doing a Save As and overwriting an existing file (this affected Acrobat Pro 9 as well as other applications).
- Worked around a bug in the Mac OS 10.4 Finder which would cause Default Folder X's Finder window list to show no windows if the Finder is hidden.
- Corrected a bug that caused Default Folder X to print warning messages in the console like " ** No alias data for item 0 (folder name) **" when there was a Smart Folder open in the Finder.
- Fixed problems with the rebound feature in Cocoa apps and very old Carbon apps.
- Added a workaround so Default Folder X appears in MacTheRipper.
