TotalFinder Plist File - don’t show menubar item preference setting

TotalFinder
1

Hello all,

TF is working pretty well with Sequoia. Obvious things still don’t work (no new finder window when clicking on TF/Finder icon in dock, and no Preference setting.) Not a problem, I just edit the com.binaryage.totalfinder.plist file using PlistEditPro.

My question is, I can not set the preference to not show the menu bar item. My Perplexity search says two different things, neither of which work.

I added a TotalFinderDontShowMenuIcon item with a number setting of 0. Also tried (what I assume is an older method) of ShowMenuIcon. I used Boolean = No and also Number = 0 but nether work.

Anyone have some insight into how to set this? Thanks!

it should be possible to remove it by holding the command key and drag it from the menu bar

In my plist file it’s set as:

TotalFinderShowStatusItem - Number - 0

As Mentioned by @Mi_Cha Holding cmd and dragging out of menu bar should work, or you can use a terminal command to restart it.

killall -KILL SystemUIServer

Ah, thanks ChrisOSX! That was the correct plist item, not what I had above.

BTW, dragging it off did not work.
