Default Folder X 6.1 Testing
Updated July 23, 2024
Default Folder X is getting updates to support macOS 15 Sequoia, as well as new features and bug fixes. The latest public beta build is available here - keep an eye on this page for updates as development progresses!
-
What's new in build 6.1b3:
-
- Compatible with the latest developer release of macOS 15 Sequoia.
- You can now open folders in the Warp terminal app as well as in Terminal and iTerm.
- Fixed a hang that could occur when clicking on the Recent Files menu in the menu bar when there are no recent files for the current app.
- Resolved an issue with Default Folder X losing track of a file dialog's location within some folders that have localized names (like ~/Movies/TV/Media/).
- Reduced the frequency with which Sequoia reminds you that Default Folder X has permission to record your screen. A side effect of this is that Default Folder X's toolbar may not correctly match the light / dark theme used in an Open or Save dialog. If you encounter any apps where this occurs, please submit a bug.
-
What was new in previous betas:
-
- Quick Search can be used to open web URLs that are saved in your favorites.
- When selecting a web URL in Settings > Folders > Favorites, the full URL is displayed.
- Fixed problems with text color when selecting favorite and default folders in Settings > Folders.
- Default Folder X could hang when adding some https:// URLs as favorites. This has been fixed.
- Fixed flickering of the preview image displayed below Open dialogs.
- The previews below Open dialogs can now play audio and video content.
- You can add web URLs as Favorites and Default Folder X will open them in your browser.
- There's now a warning when Default Folder X is run on an unsupported version of macOS.
- The Shortcuts settings are more intelligent about keeping the Quick Search and Search All shortcuts in sync.
- Fixed the information pane below file dialogs so very long filenames are truncated in the middle instead of the end.
- In Quick Search, searching "Recent" items will return recently closed Finder windows as well as recent files and folders.
- Improved the layout of the information pane when a file or folder name is very long.

How to be a beta tester:
-
In order to beta test, you must have
a stable, predictable machine (at least as much as that's possible ) and be
willing to commit time to work with
us if you discover a bug or conflict.
If you encounter incorrect or confusing
behavior, please try to summarize what
you were doing at the time it happened
and supply that along with a crash
log or screenshot.
