URL is wrong…
should be:
https://totalfinder.binaryage.com/beta-changes#1.9.7

You are right, fixed it, sorry for that.

jmaynard · June 28, 2017, 11:51am

Still no Visor with 1.9.7 (with shortcut or menu selection)…

@jmaynard I just installed this on another machine and did not have Visor until I uninstalled TF and re-installed it following the exact order I mentioned above. I’m sure you’ve tried everything, but I thought it was at least worth a mention since I was successful in getting Visor to work… Good luck, this is my favorite feature of TF!

jmaynard · June 29, 2017, 4:17pm

@Keith_Harper Tried your sequence but still no Visor (its my second favourite feature!)
thanks anyway

@jmaynard I have prepared a script which will trash all TotalFinder and Finder related plist files.

Could you please run it to get your TotalFinder/Finder installation into factory-defaults state?

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/darwin/78432cb9b0f158bc00932bcdaed0b9a8

readme.md

This is a simple shell script which will hopefully reset TotalFinder and Finder into factory defaults.

**Warning: this will wipe out your licensing info.**

1. open `/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app` 
2. execute:
```bash
curl -sL https://gist.github.com/darwin/78432cb9b0f158bc00932bcdaed0b9a8/raw/totalfinder-reset.sh | bash
```     
3. if successful you may want to delete backup folder created in `~/.totalfinder-plist-backups` via

This file has been truncated. show original

totalfinder-reset.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -o pipefail

PLIST_BACKUP_FOLDER=~/.totalfinder-plist-backups

if [ -d "$PLIST_BACKUP_FOLDER" ]; then
  echo "The backup folder $PLIST_BACKUP_FOLDER already exists from previous run."
  echo "Please delete the folder with 'rm -rf $PLIST_BACKUP_FOLDER' before launching this script again."
  echo "Doing nothing."

This file has been truncated. show original

I hope this will resolve the issue. Thank!

Darwin

Hi Darwin - long time TotalFinder user here. just chiming in for information/stats purposes. I did a fresh install of High Sierra and encountered the above bugs. Tried your solutions, but didn’t get things working fully. It seems the new OS has broken a few bits and bobs. TF does work in part: Visor and load at boot seem busted at the moment, but a manual launch seems to get the core of TF running. Early days I know. It must feel like you are trying to hit a moving target at this point! Don’t worry - I know you always get things working. I’m on 1.9.7 ATM, and will keep an eye on this thread; this public beta >generally< works, but I’m also experiencing SMB bugs, so I guess there is still a bit of OS stabilising to be done yet!

Yours gratefully,

Dunc

Some good news: Visor pops up in High Sierra beta 3
One small issue: Visor doesn’t not hide for ‘Escape’ - have to go to Finder/TotalFinder/Hide Visor to close it.
When reopened, no longer remembers size/position.
hope this helps

jmaynard · July 30, 2017, 6:35am

Clicking outside the Visor window closes it although any changes to window size/position are lost.

Hi to everyone,
totalfinder v1.10.1 is going to crash when i try to make the action of “empty the trash”
when I try to do this action quickly and finder.
Apple finder creates a second original pop up as if there were two contemporary actions
to delete the second windows I have to restart the finder.

James_Rome · September 25, 2017, 9:17pm

I can no longer boot into the recovery mode in High Sierra. Cmd R eventually brings up the apple and I keep holding it till the bar is about 1/2 way finished. But eventually boots into the normal MacOS. I tried this twice.
Anyone else see this?

Paul_Wilkinson · September 26, 2017, 2:19pm

I’ve installed High Sierra today, and unfortunately, Totalfinder crashes like crazy. It is very unstable. Any idea when a more stable version will be available please? Thanks

xgman · September 26, 2017, 2:45pm

HS (no betas) latest TF seems more or less ok so far.

darwin · September 26, 2017, 3:02pm

Paul, would be great if you could send me a crash report. I’m not aware of any major problems in v1.10.2.

Paul_Wilkinson · September 26, 2017, 3:13pm

Okay, will do. Thanks Darwin.

ChrisSpera · September 27, 2017, 2:25am

Just upgraded to High Sierra and have noticed that TF does not start with the computer. Looked in Login Items, and its not listed. I also cannot add it. For some reason its not adding; and I don’t know why.

Paul_Wilkinson · September 27, 2017, 11:25am

Hi there, I’ve reinstalled it and it now works like a dream! All good! Thanks!
