Total Finder 1.12.3 in OSX 10.15.4 seems quite unstable and crashes or does not launch on restart.
All advice would be welcome!
Thank you,
Long time paid user

I have the same problem on start-up. Once started I can run the app again and it works

Same versions are working fine for me. I do have a macro that launches TF 5 seconds after Finder starts. I don’t know if that’s what’s making mine launch reliably.

@theadler A crash report could help me. I assume TotalFinder Crash Reporter did not prompt you to send me the crash report.

Maybe try to run this diagnostics script for me and send it to support@binaryage.com

Have you partially turned off SIP? I have both debug and FS turned off as my standard configuration and have had no problems with loading TF as part of my login. If I run:
csrutil status
I get the following results:

System Integrity Protection status: unknown (Custom Configuration).

Configuration:
Apple Internal: disabled
Kext Signing: enabled
Filesystem Protections: disabled
Debugging Restrictions: disabled
DTrace Restrictions: enabled
NVRAM Protections: enabled
BaseSystem Verification: enabled

This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.

Note that it says unsupported configuration. I have had no problems with this configuration throughout the entire macOS beta cycle. I am currently running10.15.5 beta (19f621).

You can try this by doing the following:
Boot into recovery mode
select Terminal from the menu line
run: “csrutil disable” (turns off SIP)
reboot
boot into recovery mode (2nd time)
Select Terminal
run “csrutil enable --without debug --without fs”
reboot.
run “csrutil status” and you should get the results shown above. Now TF should run on boot up. (Obviously, you type the command without the “quotes” . If this isn’t your personal machine, I wouldn’t advise doing this, and the commands in csrutil are preceded by double - as in – )

I have also noticed an issue. I have the tabs enabled with narrow tab bar and sometimes the tab will go black after having been open for a while. I close the entire finder window and start over with my tabs.
