Thanks now TotalFinder works and folders are on top but I want to know how to disable the annoying message when right click? 
The sorting doesnât seem to work now 
I was attempting to disable System Integrity Protection on an El Capitan public beta 5 installation on the second partition on my 3T Fusion Drive and found that there was no Recovery Partition on the partition. The Recovery Partition that was available was the Internet online/download from Apple version and did not have the Security Configuration option. The EC install on the partition came from cloning an install from an external drive. EC copied over well but no Recovery Partition so I cannot disable SIP.
Complicating matters is you can only have 2 partitions on a Fusion Drive (why I donât know). Therefore I do not even know if a Recovery Partition can be created or copied over. Curios though, Techtool Pro 8 did create their version of an emergency partition with no effects on the Fusion Drive.
Questions:
- Does anyone know how to create a Recovery Partition without blowing everything away and starting a fresh install? I have a glacially slow Internet connection (averages 1-2 MB/sec) and it literally would take a day or two to download and install all 4 beta updates. Personal gripe: why can I not download the beta 5 installer so I can install on multiple machines without repeating the downloads?
or - Does anyone know how to copy the Recovery Partition onto the Fusion Drive?
or - Is there another way, perhaps using Terminal commands, to disable SIP?
Thanks all for any responses, Jim
Yeah, the Bartender guys found a solution, hopefully Darwin and team will find a way for totalfinder too
I can gleefully report that TotalFinder v1.7.1 beta is up and running on my El Capitan beta 5 installation on my Fusion Drive. Yippie! 
For reasons undetermined, the Recovery HD created with El Capitan beta 5 did not include the security command to disable SIP. I spent hours and hours downloading this and that, trying many suggestions from other website bloggers. But then I was put onto the following.
On the Apple Developers website (Disable SIP using Terminal command.) are directions how to disable SIP using the /usr/bin/csrutil disable in Terminal. This is a great option for those who have discovered that your beta 5 installation removed the Security option under Utilities. Check it out.
BTW: Did I mention that I am gleeful? giddy? smiling?

The âproblemâ is no such for me. Com`on, i been using Os X since the first release. Never needed that rootless shit. Be careful, that´s all. TF rules!
From what I know unfortunately this is the only officially supported Finder extension: (and separate app is the only solution)
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/Finder.html
i notice that when expanding DMG - the tool bar is not completely visible - when checking Complete TAB disable it returns OK. this occurs only when installing an update.
Any news about timeline to get a first working version of Total Finder under El Capitan GM
Thanks
@odhez depends on your definition of âworking versionâ, the latest beta should work under El Capitan GM with disabled System Integrity Protection.
The latest beta[1] does not have all the functionality of TotalFinder under Yosemite, because I wasnât able to reimplement them or it would be too much effort. Iâm sorry.
This blogpost summarises it:

Many thanks darwin for the answer.
I tried to find after reboot on El Capitan GM version the System Integrity Protection menu, but itâs seem that itâs not anymore available.
Do you confirm it ?
@odhez they just removed it from GUI recently, please follow this post: TotalSpaces2 status under OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
Hereâs my story: I installed beta (donât remember which one) on a second partition. Was able to remove the system integrity protection from that installation.
Never used it much.
When El Capitan GM went out I upgraded my main Yosemite installation to El Capitan GM. I didnât have to do anything, TF is working perfectly.
It is unnecessary to completely disable the rootless. You can disable partially to run TotalFinder. Iâve executed csrutil enable --without debug command after Iâd completely disabled it. This command ensures that you can fully utilise from the rootless except code injection protection. You may check which protections are enabled with csrutil status command.
Finally, please keep up the good work for El Capitan. Itâs still working without code injection protection. That, I can live without.

Has anyone here tried XtraFinder? I know posting this on BinaryAgeâs forums is probably frowned upon, but with all of the talk of Pathfinder (unusable coming from TF as far as I am concerned), I figure this is probably a better recommendation. I just found via Googling âFinder replacements OS Xâ and came across a NetTuts+ Tutorial.
I have installed it, and while itâs not a TF replacement exactly, it does have many of the most beloved and relied upon features, such as a hotkey for sliding the visor up from the bottom (be careful, they call it âPinnable Windowsâ which sounds like TFâs Pinned Window, which is a totally different thing. It took a while to figure out that it was referring to the slide-up visor feature. Itâs also got a lot of other TF features, but some of them are simply not working for me, such as âFolders on Topâ. Nonetheless, it at least works in 10.11 as opposed to simply crashing/not launching a la TF right now.
But this gives me hope. If a lone developer can get so many of these features to work, I wonder if BinaryAge canât refactor TF to fly under the radar and give us most of the functionality we have come to rely on?
I have just released TotalFinder 1.7.2 on beta channel:

Iâm going to release this one on the stable channel in a few hours.
i use the tweak to restore totalfinder

tnx
To enable System Integrity Protection, you have to run csrutil enable in recovery mode.
Here you have documentation from Apple:
