The Expanded Save Dialog in macOS

I installed Default Folder X last night on a Mac, realizing that the simplified save dialog was suppressed when this utility is running; I don’t like, and never have liked, the simplified version.

Fortunately, a fix is only two Terminal commands away:

defaults write -g NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode -bool TRUE

It’s an old tip, but a good one.
