Subject: Default Folder 3.1.2 - Open/Save dialog enhancement

This is the latest release of Default Folder. Default Folder 3.1.2
should replace any previous English-language versions of Default
Folder in the archives.

Default Folder is a Mac OS 9.1 and OS X Classic savvy control panel
that enhances Open and Save dialog boxes to make it easier for you to
manage files on your Macintosh. It provides many of the essential
features of commercial utilities like Action Files, SuperBoomerang,
and Directory Assistance, but without the infrequently used extras
that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage.

In addition, Default Folder fully supports the Navigation Services
Open and Save dialogs available in Mac OS 8.5 and higher, allowing
you to access your recently used and favorite folders everywhere.


What's New
----------
Default Folder 3.1.2 now allows users to change the Finder labels on
files and folders from within Open and Save dialogs with Default
Folder's Get Info command. The new release also includes
compatibility fixes for users of Photoshop 6.0.1, AdobePS, and
Extensions Strip.
