Totalfinder Yosemite



TotalFinder works like a normal finder but adds tabs, double panes, colored labels, and other features. My goal is to improve Finder in some areas that it lacks while preserving the overall design. TotalFinder is a companion program, not a replacement: Note that TotalFinder is a plug-in that loads into Finder when the TotalFinder application runs. TotalFinder is a universally acclaimed navigational companion for your Mac. Enhance your Mac's Finder with features so smart and convenient, you won't believe you ever lived without them.

  • TotalFinder has support for macOS 11.0 (Big Sur), but cannot run on a normally configured machine due to System Integrity Protection (SIP). This article can help you how to configure your machine to allow TotalFiner installation by modifying security setting. Finder didn’t participate in this prior macOS 11.0.

UPDATE 2017-09-21: What follows is my workable but convoluted system for securing sensitive files in Dropbox. As an alternative, you may instead consider a zero-knowledge, encrypted backup service like SpiderOak. Easier. -JMT

There comes a time in every man’s life when he realizes that it’s totally not smart to keep sensitive personal documents in plain text on Dropbox.

For me, that time was last Monday. I spent this week searching for and experimenting with possible solutions, and I’ve now got a system in place that I’m pretty happy with, so I thought I’d share.
The problem, as I see it, is that the important stuff needs off-site backup — but the important stuff tends to be the same as the sensitive stuff, so it’s exactly the stuff that shouldn’t just be sitting on Dropbox. (Yes, I know Dropbox encrypts your data already. If that’s enough for you, more power to you.)

Jacks or better poker. The system I’ve set up on my OS X Yosemite machine is this:

  1. Create a folder in ~/Documents called Encrypted. Collect all my important stuff there.
  2. Use VeraCrypt (free) to create an encrypted volume; we’ll call it EncryptedVolume.
  3. Use Carbon Copy Cloner ($40; worth it) to clone ~/Documents/Encrypted to EncryptedVolume.
  4. Place EncryptedVolume in ~/Dropbox.

Now you can just use your ~/Documents/Encrypted folder on an ongoing basis, and you don’t have to fool with opening encrypted volumes or anything else when you’re in a rush. Just use the folder as normal. And when you do have time, and/or you make important updates, use Carbon Copy Cloner to re-sync the folder to EncryptedVolume. CCC will only copy the updates, Dropbox will only upload the file difference, and nothing will be uploaded until the drive is encrypted and unmounted again. So everything is both efficient and secure during each step.

That’s the best compromise I could find between convenience and security. I chose VeraCrypt both because it’s open source and because it’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux. So if my computing situation changes and I’m ever in a pinch, I can open my encrypted documents on any computer* (I also chose to format EncryptedVolume as FAT for the same reason).

Of course, you can do this without CCC, as long as you don’t mind a little manual housekeeping. But CCC is already the bedrock of my backup solution, so it made sense to leverage it here, too.

*I had one hiccup on Linux — after Dropbox syncs EncryptedVolume to your Linux box, you need to give yourself write permission to the file, or the drive will be mounted read-only. You only need to do this once, the first time it downloads.

Totalfinder Mac Yosemite

TotalFinder has support for macOS 11.0 (Big Sur), but cannot run on a normally configured machine due to System Integrity Protection (SIP). This article can help you how to configure your machine to allow TotalFiner installation by modifying security setting.

If you decide to modify the settings, you will be able to install TotalFinder. Just to be clear…

Your machine may be less secure when you disable extra security features. It is entirely your decision to modify the settings.

What is different in macOS 11.0 (Big Sur)?

The Finder binary is newly marked as a “platform binary”. That means that system prevents injecting or loading any code which is not signed by Apple developers. This feature is called “Library Validation” and was first introduced in macOS 10.10 (Yosemite). Finder didn’t participate in this prior macOS 11.0.

C# Dictionary Equals: If Contents Are the Same Test two Dictionary instances for equality of all elements, where ordering does not matter. Dictionary, Equals. Two Dictionaries are equal if their contents are the same. A Dictionary is a reference type—its bits cannot just be checked. Further, 2 Dictionaries may have different orders of keys. Equal definition, as great as; the same as (often followed by to or with): The velocity of sound is not equal to that of light.

Season 1–3 (2009–2011) Edit. These episodes were all hosted by Ray William Johnson in his college dorm room. Season 4–5 (Equals Three 2.0) (2012–2013) Edit. Around mid-way through the season, Ray and Maker Studios get into a dispute, resulting in Ray temporarily hosting Equals Three from.

Currently in beta macOS 11.0 users can disable Library Validation using this command in Terminal.app:

This will allow injection of TotalFinder code in Finder. But please note that Library Validation is disabled system-wide. So any app which relied on Library Validation might be less secure.

How to install TotalFinder by turning off System Integrity Protection

TotalFinder will guide you through the process via notification dialogs. Please check the TotalFinder installation page for general installation steps. This document explains SIP-specific steps.

You must boot into the Recovery OS. You do this by restarting your machine, and holding Command+R until the Apple logo appears. Then select Terminal from the Utilities menu. It looks like this:

In the window that opens, type csrutil disable and press return. This turns off System Integrity Protection so that TotalFinder can be installed.

Reboot your machine and you may install and run the latest version of TotalFinder.

Unfortunately you have to keep SIP disabled to allow TotalFinder. In earlier macOS versions it was possible to turn SIP off only to complete TotalFinder installation steps and enable it back again. That is no longer possible in recent macOS releases due to hardened security settings.

Technical details

TotalFinder works by altering the built-in system application Finder.app.

In order to change some features of Finder, we use a technique called code injection. This means we add some additional code to the Finder program whilst it is running to do what we need. This is relatively safe - in fact we do not change any part of macOS on the disk. You only have to quit Finder via Command+Option+Esc, and the Finder will restart and everything will be as if TotalFinder was never running.

However, in macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) and later the macOS developers added a feature that disallows this kind of modification even if you have administrator access. It will also disallow other kinds of modifications (such as replacing parts of the system on disk).

Uninstallation and SIP

To remove TotalFinder from your system, run the uninstaller found on the latest dmg download of TotalFinder.
