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](mailto: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.
