9/9/2023 0 Comments Reset totalfinderyou should see TotalFinder’s menubar icon.ĭidn’t work? Ah, not good… A bit of historical context This should trigger another attempt to inject TotalFinder into Finder. In the old days when TotalFinder was first written macOS was pretty unrestricted. It was flexible but potentially unsecure. Over time Apple devs started adding various ways how to harden the system. => Apple devs are expected not to introduce bugs this security system gets pretty complex.=> Apple devs must somehow present prompts in a sane way and implement some heuristics to prevent such abuse rogue apps could abuse security prompts, trigger them repeatedly and nag users into submission.=> Apple devs must cover all such cases including weird corner cases obviously there are many apps doing various things in various ways.This plan to harden the OS sounds good in theory but how to keep backward compatibility? In recent macOS versions user has to grant permissions to TotalFinder to be able to talk to Finder using Apple Events. TotalFinder has also own history of troubles If you are interested in technical details here are some articles Unfortunately this wasn’t executed perfectly. Trying to adapt to the changes Apple devs were introducingĪnd fighting their bugs while introducing our own bugs. Software is not perfect, let’s troubleshoot it. please make sure you are running latest TotalFinder for you macOS version. please look into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation. what if there is no mention of TotalFinder? You should see that TotalFinder is granted automation permissions to control Finder. Well, sometimes this privacy subsystem gets into an unfortunate state. Permissions, and it also thinks it needs to prevent abuse, so it blocks any permission prompts. Offer any way how to tweak the permission from Security & Privacy UI. Usually this ban on permission prompts is time-based. TotalFinder versions 1.13.0 up to 1.13.7 were affected by this. Later I found the real cause of this issue. TotalFinder version 1.13.8 and up should not be affected. Other possibility is that the permission database is somehow borked. I would recommend resetting it from command-line: tccutil reset AppleEvents I believe that macOS 10.15 (Mojave) had issues with this. I’m not sure if you need to kill any processes for this to take effect, better do it: killall TotalFinder killall Finder To see manual pages of tccutil you can run: man tccutil If that does not help, you might consider resetting all privacy decisions: tccutil reset Allītw. There is one last brutal way how to nuke broken privacy database sudo rm "/Library/Application Support//TCC.db" sudo rebootĭidn’t help? Since you already have disabled the SIP, Or better reboot your computer according to this article. At least this has worked to some people on the interwebs. #Xtrafinder vs totalfinder for mac osx#.Please email me at We can continue there.
