Hi, when I dont have any window open and click on the Finder-Dock-Icon, the visor window shows up. I would prefer to open a window instead or at least that I can choose this in the settings. šŸ˜Š Also when they are windows minimized, the visor shows up instead of the minimized windows. For me, the visor should only come up, wenn I have pressed the shortcut. Like I said, the best way would be to choose this in the settings, because maybe some other persons like it the way it is.

This thread is related, Iā€™ve implemented current behaviour because of that: > [@Preventing Visor from auto appearing?](http://discuss.binaryage.com/t/preventing-visor-from-auto-appearing/1528): > > Is it possible to prevent Visor from automatically appearing when changing focus to the Finder while no window is open in the Finder? Iā€™m using the desktop for some regular tasks and would like for Visor to appear only when I hit the defined keystroke and not having to hide it every time I go to my desktop. Thanks. Iā€™m working on a tweak which will enable the behaviour you have just described. ---

Upcoming version 1.6.2 will have a hidden tweak, which will do what you want: ``` defaults write com.apple.finder TotalFinderDockIconIgnoresVisor -bool yes ``` Finder restart is needed. To return the default behaviour: ``` defaults write com.apple.finder TotalFinderDockIconIgnoresVisor -bool no ``` ---

+1 Canā€™t wait for 1.6.2 - though I prefer to shy away from a beta version at the moment. ---

Thanks for this tweak, very useful. One issue remains though with this tweak, when I use the Visor, pressing cmd+T to open a new tab will open a new tab in a new ā€œclassicā€ TotalFinder window instead of in the Visor. Same behavior for the new tab icon in the Visor. So basically, tabs wonā€™t work in the Visor. Any idea? ---

This was helpful, as Iā€™m not using Visor feature. IMHO, this should be default behavior if Visor is disabled. Also, why donā€™t you add it to the options panel?
