Just doesn’t work for me. I can see the location but TF cannot open the networked destination (normally a server). I quit TF and use the Finder and the network location can be opened instantly.

Any thoughts?

What TotalFinder version do you use? What kind of network location it is? How do you access it? How could I reproduce it?

I have just tested latest beta 1.5.35 with shared folders from some other Mac and it worked as expected:

1. enabled File Sharing on the other Mac, shared some folders
2. in my TotalFinder in sidebar I can see the other Mac under “SHARED” section
3. I can click through and open shared folders as expected

When I quit TF the connex to the server and the shared drive works every time.
