About
The standard "Open" and "Save" dialog boxes included in macOS by default do not offer a great deal of customization options.Default Folder X is a compact utility designed to help you personalize this entire process by adding new locations, Spotlight tags, comments, and many other parameters.
Access Favorite Folders from the Status Bar and Create Custom Folder Lists
The Default Folder X status bar menu provides quick access to your default folders, favorites, and recently accessed directories.At the same time, the menu allows you to view all currently open Finder windows and bring any of them to the foreground.
Default Folder X can be configured via a dedicated preference pane that integrates directly into your System Settings.Here, you can designate specific directories to serve as the default location for particular applications.Additionally, you can create your own custom list of favorite folders.
The "Open and Save" Toolbar
When Default Folder X is running, every time you use the built-in macOS utilities to open or save a file, the application automatically adds a toolbar that presents all these options in a more accessible format.
To navigate between the various menus, simply hover your mouse pointer over them.Alternatively, you can utilize default keyboard shortcuts assigned to frequently used functions.
Integrated Spotlight and Quick Look Options
To ensure you can always locate your files as quickly as possible, Default Folder X allows you to add keywords, tags, comments, or Spotlight labels directly within the "Save" dialog box.
Conversely, when opening files, Default Folder X enables you to preview documents as thumbnails—and even enlarge them to full size—right within the dialog window.
