Product Description:

Rated 4.5 mice by Macworld in July 2006, Default Folder X attaches a toolbar to the right side of the Open and Save dialogs in any OS X-native application. The toolbar gives you fast access to various folders and commands. You just click on the buttons to go to your favorite and recently used folders, manage the folders and files shown in the list, and make changes to your settings.

Default Folder also fixes a number of problems in Open and Save dialogs, "rebounding" back to the last selected file, putting the path listing back in the top menu, and correcting bugs in scrolling column views.

What's new in this version:

This version is a maintenance update to correct various issues:

Unmodified function keys could not be used as hotkeys. This has been fixed.
Default Folder X will no longer try to mount servers and disk images that are offline.
The Default Folder X toolbar now hides while you resize a file dialog.
Toolbar hiding/showing now works correctly when the Finder Click feature is turned off.
Default Folder X now correctly remembers the folder that contains an item after it is opened by Spotlight.
Fixed a bug where Fetch would display an error message when you click on the path menu.
Fixed a bug that could cause the Dock to crash under Mac OS 10.3.9.
Corrected a problem that could cause Default Folder X to be inaccessible to non-admin users running Panther.
Spotlight comments could not be saved in Cocoa applications when a file had a name that contained the '/' character. This has been fixed.
Folder sync (in the advanced preferences) is now turned off by default.

Very useful application.
This tool should be implemented in OS X.

So Default Folder works great. I'm a registered user and recommend it. That being said, the downside is that they frequently want you to update their product, and this is the type of thing you want to stay on top of. Updates are complicated and cumbersome. You click "yes I want to download," then go to their web page and have to hunt for the small download link on their odd web page, then download the installer, then run the installer, click OK, then you have to log out and in to have it take effect. This happens frequently enough. They could make it easier and I have asked and they acknowledge this is something they could improve but they cannot be bothered to do it yet. Because of this thing, I give it 3 stars, as it is a frequent and significant annoyance they could fix but don't.
