I’m having the same issue here - everytime I try to update to Total Finder 1.6.27, the Finder becomes unresponsive and everything stops working. Looking in console.app, I see the following:
Just got the latest upgrade - and install FAILED. the error message took me to this page… Tried this workaround, but it hasn’t done anything… whats it supposed to do? Im in OS X 10.10.3
I’ve been having this exact problem since yesterday’s update. Even going back to an earlier version didn’t fix the problem. 1.7.3 has fixed it. TotalFinder launched right away without issue.
On OSX 10.10.5 - had issues with finder lag - so I removed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. TotalFinder crashed, and now won’t startup. Unintalled & reinstalled thinking maybe there was some setting that was a dependency and only written on installation, however TotalFinder still won’t startup.
It generates a system notification that sends me to this thread.

For some security reason TotalFinder.app cannot deliver apple events to your running Finder.app.
This looks like some special setup of your OS. I don’t know how technical your are. Can you please double-check that TotalFinder.app is present in /Applications of your system and not anywhere else? Can you check that TotalFinder.osax is present in /Library/ScriptingAdditions and not anywhere else?
Can you try to create a new pristine user account on your system, log under it and try launching TotalFinder there?
Me too on one machine, no problems on my MacBook now on macOS Sierra but on my iMac which I just updated TF doesn’t work, tried rebooting the machine and the workaround in Terminal, didn’t fix the problem so far.
Ever since upgrading to Sierra I’m getting the error message “Troubles launching Total Finder - Apple Events cannot be delivered”. The “Read More” button links to this thread.
Here’s a paste of the terminal output and console logs after creating a ~/.debug-totalfinder-injection file, relaunching Finder (force quit isn’t an option anymore), and launching TotalFinder from the terminal:
I just installed 1.9.1, the version that was supposed to have no problems with SIP, and I am getting this message. I’ve beeen trying everything you guys mentioned here to no avail.
@sambatyon Did you manage to resolve the issue? Maybe shoot me an email to support@binaryage.com and we can walk through the installation together. I have some diagnostics shell scripts which should give us more info what went wrong.
