Total Finder won't launch, crashes on start

Matthew_Billingsly · March 19, 2018, 6:38pm

Hi There,
I recently submitted several crash reports after Total Finder stopped working on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS High Sierra (10.13.3). The problem started, perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, after I installed Global Delight’s app Boom 3D (audio enhancer). I have since uninstalled Boom 3D completely, hunting down every last system file. I’ve also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Total Finder, but it continues to crash upon launch. Total Finder is such a must-have app for me, I’m happy to abandon Boom 3D to get it back. Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Matt

Hi,

Could you please run this diagnostics script for me?

1. Please open `/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app`
2. In the Terminal prompt copy&paste this line and hit return:
```
curl -sL https://updates.binaryage.com/diagnose-totalfinder.sh | bash
```
3. Please send the resulting file `totalfinder-diagnostics.tar.gz` (on Desktop) to support@binaryage.com

Just for record here is my email answer:

Thanks. It looks like an unrelated crash to TotalFinder. I would bet that Finder alone will crash as well.

btw. this person has exactly the same crash: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8267921

You could try to trash your Finder’s plist, to see if it helps:

This script quits Finder, moves it's plist to `/tmp/com.apple.finder.plist` and then launches Finder again. This should effectively reset Finder into factory defaults. Please open `/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app` and execute this line-by-line. · GitHub

good luck!
