Since the new TotalFinder v1.6.20 I have been getting this error every time I reboot my computer.
And it looks like the error is coming from Automator. And the error remains up until I click on the OK button. Sometimes, but not always, Automator will also launch.
Even though I’m getting this error, TotalFinder still seems to launch and is functioning normally despite the warning, after I OK the dialog.
Very bizarre. Any ideas? Any fix?
Thanks … Joe
Does is happen just with TotalFinder.app or with any .app you launch via /Applications?
My theory is that you have unintentionally assigned .app extension to be Automator’s document file. So system tries to launch Automator and pass the file as its launch parameter.
Try to follow this article: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/choose-the-application-to-open-files-in-os-x-yosem.html
Yes it only happened with TotalFinder.app. You can’t assign an application to “open with” another application via Contextual menu nor Get Info. It wasn’t that. I forgot there was also an AppleScript warning from TotalFinder via Notifications, that when clicked on sent me to the pinned forum post: TotalFinder does not launch
I just did a total uninstall of TotalFinder 1.6.20, plus searched for and removed all caches, plists, etc associated with it. I then reinstalled & updated to 1.6.20 & it’s working fine.
Don’t know what happened between the last update & this new update. But a clean install fixed the issue.
Thanks anyway.
Hmm, thanks for additional details. This kinds of issues make me feel uncomfortable releasing 1.6.20 on stable channel for all people. Some others reported some weird issues as well. I have to figure out what is causing the trouble.
Just updated to 1.6.21. Still getting the TotalFinder does not launch notification at startup. I may just go back to a stable version.
I can send you my TotalFinder logs if that will help.
When you get the notification. TotalFinder really does not start or it starts but the notifications appears anyway?
Can you please execute this in Terminal.app:
touch ~/.debug-totalfinder-injection
And then open Console.app, quit Finder.app via CMD+OPT+ESC, and launch /Applications/TotalFinder.app. I would like to see the logs from the Console.
With v1.5.21 TotalFinder starts but I still get the notification.
BTW … I installed v 1.5.22 right after I did the debug for you & it seems to have fixed the issue. That was also just installed over 15.5.21, not a clean install.
This is the log, after doing a search for Total Finder:
