Existing users, 
I have been checking Unsanity's website (creator of the previously mentioned "VERY DANGEROUS APE") and they are quite explicit in saying that APE is NOT compatible with 10.5 and will not LOAD on 10.5 machines. I then checked my /Library/Frameworks directory, found the APE framework, deleted it and rebooted.
Default Folder is STILL working. From this I conclude that DF v4 is NOT using this APE.
Second, the list of "approved" developers is ONE person's opinion - nothing more, nothing less.

Enhance open/save dialogs with improved navigation & preview, spotlight tagging.

Correct - DFX doesn't use APE - St. Clair Software
You're correct, Default Folder X doesn't use APE. Prior to version 4, it did use the "APE Lite" library, but that is different than the full APE system. The complete APE system is something that you install on your Mac that supports loadable Haxies (and is the thing that some people are railing against here) while APE Lite is a self-contained library that a developer can use within an application to substitute one function for another.In any case, DFX has no association at all with APE now.
