Opening dmgs always crashes total finder

Aha, this looks like there could be a problem with TotalFinder using /usr/bin/hdiutil on your machine,

Please try this tweak in Terminal.app:

defaults write com.binaryage.totalfinder TotalFinderDoNotIgnoreDMG -bool true

Then force-quit Finder.app via CMD+OPT+ESC and launch TotalFinder.app again.
