#Xtrafinder for mac 10.11 code

Code injection in those running processes is prevented. FP will not work in applications, like the Finder, that are protected by SIP. While it's true that FP does not work in EC's Finder, on my machine FP 2.5.6 works as soon as any app is open – Firefox, Word, anything. It did work when I substituted symlinks for alias'. but I think it had some trouble with the new type alias' introduced in Yosemite.

I then did a clean install of El Capitan, and was able to install an earlier version (2.5.6), also with SIP disabled. Were you actually able to get the current version (2.5.7)? I tried, initially, with SIP disabled, but failed. Maybe Apple will add a whitelisting mechanism, but I seriously doubt this. Longer answer: A very very slight 'Maybe'. FinderPop relies waay too much on patching stuff inside the Finder to get a 'seamless' operation. Must be the beer I hadĪnyway: short answer - No. Wow, I found your question a bit difficult to parse for some reason. Is there any hope of resuscitating Finderpop under El Capitan without doing whatever is lost when SIP is disabled? I can live without SIP, I can't live without FinderPop and Default Folder X. I disabled SIP and reinstalled 2.5.7 to get it working again. Disabling SIP is not something an average user should do.įor extensive description of SIP in El Capitan, see: If there will be a future version of FP that will work in OSX 10.11 (El Capitan), it will only work with SIP (System Integrity Protection) disabled. Is there a chance FP can be made to work again? I depend on it. There's an 'OK' check box, but it will not work. If I go to System Prefs, they lock up with the dialogue box that says FP is not compatible.

MBP 2.2 GHz i7 (early 2011) / Crucial SSDįrom what I've read in various forums and discussions, it doesn't seem like having to disable SIP is going to be much of a deal-breaker for most advanced/power users when it comes to using apps.especially apps that users deem essential to their everyday workflow (as FP is for me and a lot of others here). Good thing is that FP was quicker for me. Bartender does work once enabled as does cDock supposedly. Unfortunately, once installed and then SIP enabled, it does not. Installed fine once SIP disabled following the 'Bartender instructions'. Not really applicable to FinderPop unfortunately. Finder Sync Extensions were added by Apple to allow the Finder to be more clever about remote storage and syncing of files/folders. That's very likely to be just a Finder Sync Extension contextual menu item unfortunately.

I imagine it's more complicated than that but any ray of hope of keeping this incredibly useful piece of software working. I'm not sure this is directly applicable but Dropbox has a contextual menu item under 10.11 that works without disabling/enabling SIP like you need to do for Bartender. The brief time I spent with El Capitan didn't impress me. Very happy with Mavericks as I use FinderPop daily and have since the days of OS8. EC is now 'gone like a wild goose in Winter'. I installed EC on my late-2012 iMac for a bit and when I invoked FinderPop, the system froze to the point of a hard restart. This is why I'm not a big fan of beta software I'm sticking to Mavericks on my machine at the moment.

But again, the need to disable SIP is a big no-no for all but the most die-hard of users.ĭoes SIP need to be disabled and remain disabled for FP to work? Apparently some applications like cDock or Bartender need to have SIP disabled at initial installation, but will continue to work when SIP is again enabled after installation. I will hopefully have a bit of time this weekend to work on this, fingers crossed I can get it working. Or rather, it 'works' too well - the Finder's contextual menu items do not show up in the menu. On El Capitan, FP does NOT work when you control-click something in the Finder. Mind you, I was still running OS 9 + FinderPop on my iMac in 2005! Alas disabling SIP is a step too far for most people.Īnd there are rumours that the 'SIP Disable' feature will be removed when 10.11 is released later this month.
