macOS Big Sur and TotalFinder

It’s not working because TotalFinder doesn’t work on M1 machines and it sounds like you’re using one.

Yes I certainly am. Are there any plans to make TF work with M1 Macs?

Yes, I’m waiting for my M1 MacBook to be delivered.

It could be great if the TF installer package could change this setting automatically to help improving the user experience

@darwin First of all I wanted to say thank you SO MUCH once again for your willingness to continue developing this product which has a real dedicated and passionate fan base. TotalFinder is really so integral to my MacOS experience and I am incredibly glad that you will continue supporting it.

I just wanted to check in if you are aware of any graphics glitches that can occur in the Tab view? I haven’t tested this extensively but it seems to be caused when Visor is being used in combination with narrow Tab view. Anyone else ever ran into this? I’m on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7.

I am I just started switching the OS mode to dark mode today and noticed that when Big Sur made a switch from Light Mode to Dark Mode WITH Total Finder running, the switch killed Total Finder. I had to restart it manually after the switch to Dark Mode.

Not sure if you were aware.

Just discovered:

When opening a .dmg file with an App to copy AND open a second tab in Total Finder to copy to,
NOW when doing a double click on one of this TAB’s to combine the TAB’s, Total Finder crashes and restarts, what takes 3-6 seconds.
When it opens up again he still got both tabs open but they are still not combined TAB’s.

Hope that helps!

Hello everyone!

Currently running TF 1.13.8 on freshly upgraded Big Sur.

Noticed a bug with VISOR:

To replicate Bug:

  1. launch TF
  2. open a second tab by clicking on the open tab button with your mouse
  3. join tabs (dual pane) by double clicking on the on one of the two. After a short moment the ‘long/joined tab appears’.
  4. close the joint tab by clicking the clicking the close tab icon on the joint tab itself. TF closes.
  5. Relaunch TF : you can only see a large grey mostly unresponsive surface (no windows).
  6. In order to reset TF, you have to relaunch Finder and relaunch TF

The issue does not occur if you launch double pane with cmd + U

Any ideas?

Cheers

Since Big Sur 11.2 and TF 1.13.8 the tabs are behaving strange.
When combining two taps only one shown (not the combinend tab shown) or one big tab with the two names of the folders in only one side of the big tab or when terminating one of the combined tabs, you’ll end up with 3 tabs… etc.

PLUS the old unfixed one:
When opening a .dmg file AND open a second tab in Total Finder to copy to,
NOW when doing a double click on one of this TAB’s to combine the TAB’s, Total Finder crashes and restarts, what takes 3-6 seconds.
When it opens up again he still got both tabs open but they are still not combined TAB’s.

Big Sur 11.2 and TF 1.13.9
Two open combined TAB’s. Then you close one by clicking the ‘x’ and both tabs are gone what results in TF window disappearing.

Hi, thanks the combining tabs work for usual tabs now, BUT the main problem was the crash :

The old unfixed one (see one comment above from my last):

When having an open Finder window and opening a .dmg file you’ll get two tabs. When you try to combine these tabs to copy or so, TF still crashes the first time. The second time you try to combine after the crash it works.
When it opens up after the crash TF still got both tabs open but they are still not combined TAB’s.
Just after the second try to combine them, it works.

And it continues over again when opening another .dmg file and want to combine it.

Have a try with any .dmg file and try to combine.

(I de-/re-installed TF just to make sure it’s nothing else)

It seems to be connected with the General-Setting “Prefer tabs:” in Big Surs System Preferences, which I change from “always” to “never”.

After that, my Tab-issue seems to be gone…
Since I found out just this afternoon, it will take a couple of days to verify the results.

EDIT:
just saw that @Carolina also mentioned that in November 2020… :man_facepalming:
