![]() ![]() The Finder can be restarted via the TotalFinder status bar menu or through the Terminal by using the “killall Finder” command. When you are done all you have to do is restart the Finder and every thing goes back to normal. If you do not want to use TotalFinder but you want to keep the application installed, just remove it from the login startup items list and launch it whenever you feel the need. As a matter of fact Antonin Hildebrand, the application's developer, is pointing out that you have at least two ways of properly uninstalling the application: through the option available in the TotalFinder status bar menu or via the uninstaller that can be found in the application's archive. ![]() That does not mean that your Finder is irremediably altered. In fact, TotalFinder actually integrates into your default Finder application, while placing customization options in the panel added to the default ones in the Finder Preferences window. The tweak is apparently available only for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard since this particular version had the Finder rewritten in Cocoa. TotalFinder is a great application/plug-in that brings a rather common notion to your Finder in order to provide a more organized look to your desktop: tabs. Still, that does not mean that the Finder could not use some improvements. As a result many users do not go through to the trouble of learning how to use an alternative application, although it may bring many more features. Considering that it comes integrated with the system, the Finder will also run as smoothly as it gets. The beauty of TotalFinder is that it was just a tiny add-on on top of normal Finder.Although there are several applications for Mac OS X designed to deal with file management, the Finder remains one of the easiest ways to process your documents thanks to its simple and efficient design. ![]() I would probably just revert to basic Finder with Terminal combo. And most importantly I personally would probably not use it. There are other file managers which are trying to serve in that space. I rejected this several times because that would be too much work and I’m not sure how big the market for such thing could be. If you want to keep SIP enabled, the only other chance would be to implement whole Finder replacement app which would look & feel like Finder but with TotalFinder features baked-in. And that positively affects me as well although I personally have SIP disabled. If most people have SIP enabled on their machine then malware/spyware authors have much harder time spreading their malicious code and making money out of it, which makes it less likely they would even start developing such code for macOS platform in the first place. I personally disabled SIP on my machine fully and I believe that I can still enjoy some benefits of SIP existence on the platform. You can disable SIP just partially, but you still need to allow code injection and disable filesystem protection via csrutil enable -without debug -without fs, see more details here: If there was a (theoretical) way how to circumvent it, Apple would quickly fix it in next OS update. Code injection into system apps is something SIP tries to prevent. There is almost zero chance I would be able to make this work under SIP fully enabled.
