Problems since upgrade to macOS 12 (Monterey)?

Oscar_Lowenthal · October 29, 2021, 7:48pm

When rebooting into macOS Big Sur my desktops will cycle through each one (6 total) before stopping. I wasn’t sure if this was TotalFinder or TotalSpaces2, but it did go away after a few seconds. Since the update to macOS Monterey, the desktops will cycle many more times, and eventually showing only a black screen for my desktop.

Is there a way to get it to stop? Or is this a bug?

I installed Monterey on my Mac. Total finder stopped working. Is there a fix?

Reset Finder and TotalFinder into factory defaults and do not enable Colorful sidebar:

https://gist.github.com/darwin/804d06733194f201a595c0dbbf8130ea/

_readme.md

To reset TotalFinder and Finder into factory defaults. 

1. in `Terminal.app` run
```bash
curl -sS https://gist.githubusercontent.com/darwin/804d06733194f201a595c0dbbf8130ea/raw/reset.sh | bash
``` 
2. and then launch `/Applications/TotalFinder.app` again

Alternatively in step 1 you might want to copy&paste the commands below by hand (skip empty lines and comments)

reset.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e -o pipefail -x

# politely ask Finder to quit
osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" to quit"

# check if previsous backup folder already exists
if [[ -d ~/totalfinder-settings-backup ]]; then
  rm -rf /tmp/totalfinder-settings-previous-backup

TotalFinder 1.14.0 should be compatible. Please give it a spin and report any issues, thanks.

Hi Khaled
backup your files and folders you need it
then use the new option to erase all content and settings
now you have everything new shut down your mac and disable SIP then restart your mac
now install TF 1.14.0 and 100% it will work for sure

if you need help I’m always here
