As said in the subject…
Finder gets unresponsive while opening a .dmg-file.
I have to “Force Quit” -> “Relaunch Finder” and then restart TotalFinder.
I’m running TF 1.8.1 on Sierra 10.12.1
I also have this problem on two Apple computers, both running El Capitan 10.11.6 and TF 1.8.1. One is an Apple iMac and the other a MacBook Air.
In addition (on both computers), when I relaunch Finder, the Sidebar is devoid of most items I had switched on and I have to re-select them.
Just tried in on my MBP and it worked as intended.
With the next “Force Quit”-Situation on my iMac, I used Activity Monitor to kill TF and TFCrashWatcher for good.
Then I uninstalled TF1.8 with AppCleaner, to make sure every file outside the app is also deleted.
Afterwards I rebooted the machine and reinstalled TF1.8 and now it seems to work again… 
Having the same issue, this resolved this problem?
EDIT: I just tried this and it still locks up.

Sorry for the late reply…
Since 1.8.1 the issue is gone.
Even the almost 2 GB Combo-Update dmg for 10.12.3 worked like a charm.
“Even the almost 2 GB Combo-Update dmg for 10.12.3 worked like a charm.”
How did you get a combo update? The only kind of update I can get with Sierra is an automatic one.
Thanks. I like having a spare copy.
I’m still having the issue, I’ve even tried a beta of 10.12.4 to see if that bug fix carried over and it has not.
Could you test this plist tweak? Thanks

This worked. Is a permanent fix on the way?
I have reimplemented the way how I detect DMG files. The issue should be fixed in the next version (1.8.3)
Nice
@darwin - Thanks for the update. Has there been a date (or at least month) set yet when 1.8.3 will be released?
This should be fixed in new TotalFinder beta:

I would appreciate if you could report back if you still encountered it with 1.9.0. Thanks!
