Further improving its EddyAward-winning utility for enhancing Open and Save dialogs, St. Clair Software today released version 1.9 of Default Folder X.
In conjunction with this update, it is necessary to warn users that older versions of Default Folder X are completely incompatible with Panther. When Default Folder X 1.8 or earlier is running, it will cause all
applications to quit as soon as they are launched.We regret this situation, but feel that sharing this information as widely as possible is the best way to minimize the inconvenience to our customers. If users have Default Folder X set to launch when they log in, they will need to log in while holding down the Shift key, then turn off Default Folder X in System Preferences or upgrade to version 1.9 immediately.
