Navigation panel gone

Hi,

Since the last update the navigation panel on the left of my finder is gone. If I do not run total finder all is good, but when total finder is started and I open a new window there is no navigation panel visible in the new ones.

Have you tried CMD+OPT+T or CMD+OPT+S ? That should bring sidebar back.

CMD+OPT+T does bring it back, but I want it on by default without the need to press the keys every time. How can that be done?

First, make sure you are using the latest version: 1.6.27:

Second, bring sidebar back in all tabs/windows and then close all TotalFinder tabs and windows. Second time you navigate to affected folder, the sidebar should be visible.
