Sequoia is nearly here – and Default Folder X 6.1 is ready for it!

Wednesday, September 4th, 2024

Rumor has it that macOS 15 Sequoia will be released next week at Apple’s “Glowtime” event, alongside iOS 18 and the new iPhone 16 models. Version 6.1 of Default Folder X has been in beta testing for several months and has been working well with Apple’s Sequoia betas, so I’m rolling it out in final form today.

You’ll need Default Folder X 6.1 if you’re running Sequoia – version 6.0.8 will just put up an alert saying that it doesn’t support macOS 15 – so today’s release should give many folks an opportunity to install the update before Sequoia arrives next Monday (or whenever Apple actually makes the upgrade available for download). The Default Folder X 6.1 update is free to everyone who’s already purchased a license for version 6.

In addition to Sequoia compatibility, Default Folder X 6.1 also opens favorite URLs from its Quick Search window, can open folders in the Warp terminal app, and fixes a number of bugs that cropped up in version 6.0.8. Full details and download links are on the What’s New page, or if you’re already running Default Folder X, just select “Check for Update” from its menu in your menu bar.
