When selecting text in the filename edit field within Save dialogs, periods are treated as word boundaries in all cases, rather than just between the filename and extension.

The Finder toolbar menu will include the About / Settings / Help / Quit menu if Default Folder X's icon is turned off in the menu bar.
Removed the option to hold down the Command key to open a folder in Terminal. This conflicted with the standard use of the Command key to reveal an item in the Finder.

Corrected a bug in which some keyboard shortcuts couldn't be changed in Settings > Folders > Favorites after deleting a favorite.
Changed license prompts to ensure consistent use of the term "License number" instead of "Serial number".

Quick Search provides keyboard-driven access to all of your favorites, recent files, folders, apps and Finder windows. Press Command-Shift-Space to access it.

Default Folder X's menu in the menu bar can be reorganized and customized to fit your specific needs.

Default Folder X's menu now offers submenus for Recent Apps and Recent Finder Windows.
Your settings, favorites and recent items can be synced between multiple Macs via iCloud.

Finder-click optionally recognizes folders _within_ Finder windows, not just the folder associated with the Finder window itself. Enable this using Settings > Open & Save > Behavior > Choose folders within windows when you click on them.
Support has been added for the macOS Shortcuts app so you can query and control Default Folder X from Shortcuts.
Selecting "Show Item in Finder" in the Finder drawer or Drag Zone will open the item in an alternate file browser (like Path Finder) if one is configured and running.
Finder-click now distinguishes between Finder, ForkLift and Path Finder windows by showing the icon of the app that owns them.
Each time Default Folder X switches to a default folder, you'll see a reminder until you choose "don't tell me again". This should help folks who inadvertently configure a default folder and are later confused by the behavior.
If you assign keyboard shortcuts to Default Folder X's menus in file dialogs, those shortcuts are shown in the toolbar's tooltips.
When popping up a single menu using AppleScript, the menu items for Settings, About, etc will not be added to the bottom of the menu.

In Settings > Folders you can now select multiple favorites or default folders when reordering, deleting or showing them in the Finder.
Favorite and default folders in Settings > Folders are now grayed out if they refer to a folder that's been deleted or moved.
Added an option in Default Folder X > Settings > Menus to show items with color tags at the top of menus.

Bug fixes:

Switching between folders in Open and Save dialogs is more reliable.
Fixed the assignment of keyboard shortcuts in Recent menus so they're on the correct items when menus are sorted by name rather than by date.
If a minimized Save dialog pops up, Default Folder X usually maximizes it for you. It will not do so if that causes the dialog to extend past the sides or bottom of the screen.
The Finder toolbar menu no longer includes "About Default Folder X", Settings and other application-level items.
Changes to the system Light / Dark Mode are immediately applied when there's a file dialog open.

Added a VoiceOver description for the DFX icon in the menu configuration sheet.

Switching between folders in file dialogs is faster and more reliable.

Fixed saved dialogs so that Command+Delete correctly activates the Delete button if it's present, or performs a "delete to beginning" in the filename field if there's no Delete button.
Corrected issues with previews popping up for the (nonexistent) Drag Zone when using the Small Toolbar style in Open and Save dialogs.
In the actions panel below Save dialogs, "Remember these settings next time" text was sometimes truncated. This has been fixed.
The "with Cancel Button" argument of the CloseDialog Shortcut command now works correctly.
Fixed a memory leak.

Question:

Default Folder X's two drag-and-drop areas, the drag zone to the left of file dialogs and the drawer below Finder windows, currently show the same set of items. If you drag something to the Finder drawer, it's available next to file dialogs and vice versa. Should I leave it that way, or would it be more useful to have these areas each have their own separate collection of files and folders?

Version 6.0b4

New features:

You can click on the "+" icon in the Finder drawer to add currently-selected Finder items to the drawer.
If you assign shortcuts to pop up menus in Default Folder X's toolbar, those shortcuts are shown in the toolbar's tooltips.

When dragging items to the menu bar icon while holding Option or Command+Option, the cursor would revert to the default cursor if you hovered the mouse over the icon for a few seconds. This has been fixed.
Holding down the Option key while clicking on Default Folder X's menus will reverse the sort order of the menus as it should.
The very thin white line at the bottom of the Default Folder X application icon has been removed.

Version 6.0b3

New features:

There are two new toolbar styles, "Translucent Bezel" and "Translucent Toolbar". They are much more translucent than the standard bezel and toolbar and are available in Big Sur and later. You can switch styles in Settings > Open & Save > Appearance.
The standard bezel and toolbar styles in Open and Save dialogs are now slightly translucent in macOS 11 Big Sur and later.
The "Minimal Toolbar" appearance style has been renamed "Small Toolbar"
Holding down the Command key while dragging and dropping an item will always move it, even if the item and drag destination are on separate volumes.
When dragging items to the menu bar icon, the menu that pops up to select the drag destination no longer has extraneous "About Default Folder X", etc items at the bottom.
The "Computer" icon in the toolbar has been updated to an M1 iMac.
The icons and text in the Drag Zone are the same size as the toolbar icons and text.
The text in the Finder drawer is the same size as the text that the Finder uses for filenames.

Bug fixes:

Fixed a problem in which application keyboard shortcuts would stop working after using a Save dialog until you clicked on a window in the app.
You can once again drag and drop files and folders onto Default Folder X button in the Finder toolbar. This operates identically to dropping a file or folder on the Default Folder X icon in the menu bar, popping up a menu so you can select a destination for the dropped items.
Fixed the Finder drawer so it no longer looks 1 pixel off in Dark Mode.
Default Folder X's keyboard shortcuts are no longer active when the Quick Search window is invoked while a file dialog is open.
Corrected a bug that could cause the Quick Search window to stall while you're typing.
Corrected the text color in the Finder Drawer and Drag Zone when in Dark Mode on macOS versions prior to Big Sur.
The translucency / color of the sample toolbar in Settings > Open & Save > Appearance accurately reflects the real appearance of the toolbar.
Fixed the incorrect preview of the Dark Bezel style in Settings > Open & Save > Appearance on Mojave and Catalina.

Known issues:

You can not click on the "+" icon in the Finder drawer to add currently-selected Finder items to the drawer.
The wide filename in Save dialogs covers up the maximize button when running on High Sierra. Should I drop support for High Sierra? That would simplify code and testing...
The wide filename field just splats itself onto the screen - it would be better if it animated from the small size to the large one.

Version 6.0b2

The Finder drawer and Quick Search windows are now translucent.
The Quick Search window pops up without deactivating the current application or file dialog.
The wide filename field in Save dialogs is compatible with text expansion apps such as TextExpander and Espanso.
Dragging and dropping items in Default Folder X while pressing modifier keys works the same way it does in the Finder. Dragging moves an item if it's on the same volume and copies it otherwise, Option+drag copies it, and Command+Option+drag creates an alias.
A "dropped" sound is played after dropping items into folders in the Finder drawer.
Errors that occur during a drag-and-drop operation are more detailed and helpful.

Added contextual menu commands so you can copy or move favorite and default folders to another folder set in Settings > Folders.
When there are only a few items in the Drag Zone (on the left side of file dialogs), they are grouped closer together rather than spread unnaturally across the height of the sidebar.
Selecting "Show Item in Finder" in the drawer or Drag Zone will open the item in an alternate file browser (like Path Finder) if one is configured and running.
Turning on "Reduce Motion" in the system accessibility settings will turn off animation of the drawer, Finder-click shadows, and toolbar.

Selection is properly shown after drag-and-drop operations in Settings > Folders.
Dragging multiple favorite or default folders to reorder them in Settings > Folders works correctly.

Fixed Default Folder X > Folder Sets > Manage Sets so it correctly opens the folder set window.
Creating a new, empty folder set and then immediately creating a duplicate works correctly.

Version 6.0a4

New features:

You can now customize Default Folder X's menu in the menu bar. Click on the "Customize" button in Default Folder X > Settings > General.
Finder-click optionally supports clicking on the content of Finder windows. If you click on a folder icon in a Finder window, for instance, the file dialog will switch to the folder represented by that icon, not just the folder associated with the surrounding Finder window. I'm on the fence about offering this as a feature, as I think it might be confusing. Please go to Default Folder X > Settings > Open & Save > Behavior, turn on "Choose folders within windows when you click on them" and let me know what you think.
When you descend into a folder using the right arrow in Quick Search, the path of the folder and an arrow to go back are shown below the search field.
When using Quick Search within a folder, ".." can be used to select its parent folder.
