Hello thank you for doing this. Very happy to that save dialogues will be expanded by default!

One suggestion:

replace

# Hide Spotlight tray-icon (and subsequent helper)
#sudo chmod 600 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Search

with

# Hide Spotlight tray-icon and disable ⌘-space keyboard shortcut. 
#sudo chmod 600 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Search

because

  • this more accurately describes the total effect
  • spotlight itself still available by other means, it is not disabled rather less convenient

how to get spotlight back

And in case anyone ever comes looking for it, here is a method to reverse it

killall SystemUIServer
sudo chmod 755 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Search
killall SystemUIServer
