Default Folder X overview
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. It also fixes a number of problems in Open and Save dialogs, "rebounding" to the last selected file, putting the path listing back in the top menu, and correcting bugs in scrolling column views.
Features:
- Directory assistant: You can access the contents of your recent, favorite, and open folders right from Default Folder X's toolbar.
- Real time saving: If you're constantly saving things inside the same folder, Default Folder X can remember that folder for you.
- Finder management: Default Folder X lets you open up or save to any Finder window with a single click.
- Instant Recall: To help you quickly return to folders you've recently used, Default Folder X remembers them for you.
- Spotlight on the spot: Default Folder X lets you add Spotlight keywords, OpenMeta tags, and Finder labels on the spot, while you're still in the Save dialog.
- Information central: With Default Folder X you get previews below every Open dialog, expanded to fill the available space. Need to see more detail? Click on the image and it zooms up to full size.
- Workflow without work: Rather than make you learn and set up a new application, Default Folder X blends into OS X.

Beyond price. This app is essential. It should be built into the macos. There is nothing I dislike, but the survey wouldn't let me complete unless I added something.

v6.0.5 is out. "Version 6.0.5:
• You can paste or type a complete path into the Quick Search window to open an item at that location.
• Default Folder X now shows the correct name, icon and location for OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and Box folders.
• The history of recent Finder windows is updated when any tab of a Finder window is closed, not just when a window or its frontmost tab is closed.
• Items that you've added to the Finder drawer or Drag Zone are updated instead of being removed when the items they refer to are moved or renamed.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a Finder window to jump back to its previous location and size after being resized if Default Folder X's drawer was attached to it.
• If you've customized the name of a Favorite, changing that Favorite to point to a different folder will not change its name.
• The ToggleFinderDrawer AppleScript command returns a boolean result indicating whether the drawer is open.
• Fixed a bug in Finder-click that prevented it from recognizing QSpace windows on a second display.
• There's a new Info button in the Folders tab of the settings to explain what a Folder Set is.

Can Default Folder X increase the size of thumbnails that appear when any given site's "Upload" button is used ?
I'm not talking about increasing the size of thumbnails when I've opened files on my desktop, Apple provides a slider in View Options for that, but when the Upload button at websites is clicked, the tumbnails are ridiculously tiny.
On my iMac's 27 inch screen the thumbnails are 20mm in size at their largest, making it impossible to see any detail prior to uploading.
If Default Folder X can enlarge them, is it fairly simple to do and can it be set as the default or does it have to be done with each upload?
Thanks.

A Mac without Default Folder would be like driving in Tokyo with no map or Map App.

The very first app I install on a new computer. Mandatory as far as I’m concerned.
