If you're still running version 5, you'll find details and screenshots of the new v6 features on the Default Folder X 6.0 Tour page.
What's new in version 6.2.3:
Open Finder windows are now included in Quick Search results.
Added icons to the About, Settings, Quick Start, Help and other menu items on Tahoe.
Eliminated delays in Open and Save dialogs when switching between folders or automatically selecting the last opened file.
Default Folder X's "QuickSearch" AppleScript verb takes a folder as a parameter so you can search only the contents of that folder.
Worked around a bug in macOS 26.1 and later that resulted in the path menu in Open and Save dialogs not updating, the Quick Search keyboard shortcut not working reliably, and the list of Finder windows not updating after a window was closed.
The "Open With" menu will only offer apps located in your Applications folders unless you turn on a checkbox in the Additional Settings (hold down the Option key while choosing Settings).
You can change the font size of Default Folder X's menus using the Terminal command "defaults write com.stclairsoft.DefaultFolderX5 menuFontSize 16".
Tracking of recent files works correctly in Java apps when you select a file using a native macOS Open dialog.
The Recent Files menu will show all recent files in Open dialogs presented by Keyboard Maestro macros.
Re-enabled the ability to set a minimum size for Open dialogs in the Additional Settings.
Fixed debug logging so it works correctly on macOS Tahoe.
As a long-term Mac user, i have installed demo software beyond count. Yours is one of the few that I've seen the worth in investing in.

It's one of those programs that I wonder how I lived without for so long. Before I was constantly clicking through directories every time I wanted to open, save or attach a file. Now I do almost everything in just a few clicks.
