Hope this helps.
Well, golly gee, it is in there : )
I just upgraded from Default Folder 3.07 to 3.1 (because it's *always* a good
idea to upgrade to the latest version of anything) last week and hadn't
noticed that little goody.
Having been a happy owner and user of Default Folder (www.stclairsw.com) for
several years, I wholeheartedly endorse it. It is a phenomenal time
save/frustration reducer, is actively supported, and works fine in the
Classic environment of OSX. I really miss the Default Folder control strip
module in OSX (heck, I miss the control strip period). I hope it gets updated
for OSX soon.
