I appreciate the work - decadence

involved in running a small software company. It's not a joke.

I used to be a Default Folder advocate/junkie in the Mac OS 7/8/9 days.

Unfortunately in the OS X world, Default Folder has never been as reliable (not that we didn't have crashes from Default Folder then).

I wish you would stop focusing on expanding Default Folder, but focus on making a lite version which is absolute stability.

What I have against you/Default Folder are the hard system crashes and/or memory leaks which force a restart. If Default Folder just crashed itself that would be no big deal.

But it usually takes down/corrupts a system to the point the system needs to be restarted.

As Default Folder is a workflow tool, forced restarts/freezes makes Default Folder actually an antiproductivity tool.

Until you get these issues under control (the only way in my opinion is going lite rather than feature expansion), Default Folder X is a perpetual beta and a liability rather than an asset on a work computer.

I lost a huge amount of respect for your coding when you put in APE - Haxie code for a couple of versions. APE (in my opinion and in Apple's) is the worst thing to ever happen to OS X stability.

Pardon my impertinence, but you have your eye on the wrong ball Jon.
