The Information panel now correctly shows the labels assigned to files stored in iCloud.

Here's a quick rundown of the major additions. Details and screenshots are on the Default Folder X 6.0 Tour page.

More powerful drawer in the Finder. Default Folder X's Finder drawer has been rewritten to be more useful and intuitive. Use it as a temporary drag-and-drop holding space, or as a location for often used files and folders.
