Default Folder X
For years, Default Folder has helped speed Macintosh users through the process of opening, saving, and managing files. With the advent of Mac OS X, the familiar Open and Save dialogs seem to have taken a giant leap backwards. Default Folder X fixes a number of problems in OS X's file dialogs and adds convenient features to quickly get you where you want to go.
Default Folder X makes your life easier with the following enhancements:
It shows you where you are. The top menu in a file dialog lists the active folder and its enclosing folders, just as it did in Mac OS 9. Apple dropped this feature in OS X in order to overload the menu with recently used items, favorites, and other navigational tools. Default Folder puts those tools where they should be, and gives you back your bearings.
It gives you access to windows you have open in the Finder. A popup menu gives you a list of all of the windows open in the Finder. Selecting one from the menu, or simply clicking on the window you want, switches the file dialog to that folder.
It quickly takes you to recently used and favorite folders. Default Folder's popup menus track folders you've used recently and give you fast access to your favorite folders. You can even assign command keys to your favorites to save more time.
It lets you click on a filename to copy it. In Save As dialogs, you can option-click on the name of an existing file to copy it to the edit box. No more retyping the same or similar filenames.
It lets you rename, delete, and get information on files and folders without leaving the file dialog. Default Folder provides a host of useful commands so you don't have to go rummaging around just to do something simple like renaming a file.
It "rebounds" back to the last item that you selected in a folder. You no longer have to hunt through the file listing for a particular document you were working on before lunch - this gets you to work much faster.
It opens folders for you in the Finder. When you really need to do more with a file or folder, use Default Folder X to open the folder shown in an Open or Save dialog in the Finder. Or use Default Folder X's convenient menu in the Dock to access recent, favorite, and other useful folders at any time.
