I'll get on that next. The priority on this release has been to address the cause of crashes. I’m afraid the contextual menus are still only available in some applications as of version 4.4.7.

It depends on whether the app is using new API calls or old ones under the hood. In any case, I'm working to get Default Folder X updated to support the new API's as well as the old ones - then you should have the contextual menu back in all apps.

Unfortunately, one of the features I used most often under Snow Leopard is still non-functional. In Open/Save dialogs, I would right-click to bring up a contextual menu that would allow me to rename or even Trash files. I would love to see that feature restored, if at all possible. Thank you!

I believe the only way is to get your Palm Desktop files over to a machine that will still run Palm Desktop so you can export them. You can then import the contact info into Address Book or Outlook. A quick Google search shows a bunch of help, but they all require that you export your data from Palm Desktop, so you need someone with a pre-Lion version of OS X installed on their Mac...

It doesn't meet the App Store guidelines (because it installs a scripting addition) and therefore can't get approval. For Lion, it's also going to need your administrator password, which is another App Store no-no, and is why App Tamer can't be put in the App Store either. If Apple changes their requirements, this could change, of course. But for the present, Default Folder X and App Tamer will only be sold through our web site and resellers.
