A new pre-release build of Default Folder X 6 is available for testing, adding Spotlight search as an option in its Quick Search window.
Quick Search will find files and folders super-fast in your recent and favorite items, but there are some occasions when you’re opening a file you don’t often access. In those cases, press Command+Shift+S and Quick Search will use Spotlight to find things instead. It’s not as fast, and matching file and folder names isn’t as smart, but you’ll be able to open what you want even if Default Folder X hasn’t seen it recently.
This release also smooths the flow of moving around and searching subfolders in Quick Search, refines the icons used in Default Folder X’s toolbar and Quick Search menu, enables Command+Shift+G correctly in Save As dialogs, and addresses other bugs in the previous alpha release.
Details and download links are on the Default Folder X Testing page. If you’re already running an earlier pre-release build of Default Folder X 6, you can just choose “Check for Update” from its menu to download the new build.
