Default Folder X gives you quick access to folders you use often from within any Open or Save dialog box. You can assign a default folder for each application, so your work is always saved in the same place. You can also use a list of your favorite locations, recently used locations, or all currently open Finder windows, on the assumption that one of them is likely to be where the document you are currently working on is stored.
Default Folder X also provides access to your Mac file system through a quick hierarchical menu that is faster than the method used in the standard Open/Save dialog box. Additionally, the application provides a host of file features that allow you to work with the Mac's file system without leaving the Open/Save dialog box. For example, if you notice that a file name is incorrect, you can correct it without leaving the Open/Save dialog box. You can also get info on a file and see larger previews than the ones displayed in the standard Open/Save dialog box.
Default Folder X is a real time saver; the latest version is now compatible with Snow Leopard.
Default Folder X is $34.95. A 30-day demo is available.
