Several things seem to be broken or buggy now after upgrading Lion to 10.7.3. Visor behaves very erratically. Performed an uninstall and a reinstall and the same problems persist. Hopefully the dev can get this fixed soon, as this has become one of my indispensable utilities.

So I have only started to play around with this application. But my initial usage of the Finder has definitely been improved. The dual-pane and tabs are pretty great. What I really like about TotalFinder compared to PathFinder or Forklift is that it is implemented within the regular finder. Ergo, I am not running a truly separate application and when I close my finder windows, TotalFinder closes as much as it can (Finder never truly closes).

Also, I don't need crap like FTP and whatnot. If I am going to use FTP, I would much rather run a dedicated FTP client.

So yeah, good stuff.... way to go!

I got this in a software bundle and it has turned out to be a real gem. I had been using PathFinder; PF does more overall, but for the things I need most often this app is more user-friendly. I like how it integrates with the Finder instead of being this separate thing, and it's significantly cheaper too. If you don't need all the bells and whistles of Path Finder but wish it were easier to move documents around, etc., this is a pretty good choice.

It means the size and position of windows get lost: a new window always opens the size and position of the last opened (or closed) window, pretty useless on a multiple display setup... (no support for DS-Store)

I've been using this one for a while now and I couldn't imagine working without it! I tried using nothing but regular finder windows the other day and I went crazy after five minutes... :-) The integration with the Finder is transparent, unlike for example Path Finder that replaces it and only succeeds some of the time, and it adds a number of very useful tools and functions. It suffers from some stability issues but I'm not sure if that's my system or TF's fault.

Hi, if you purchased as part of a Macupdate bundle, you can't use your regular name as the user name, you must the name of the promotion. For example, when I purchased, the receipt said: "MacUpdate Promo 1455" If I use my personal name, wouldn't take with the serial key, but using "MacUpdate Promo 1455", works fine. Your promo or purchase name might be different, look on your receipt.

Umaromc had trouble on 04 Sep 2011
Mac Pro 2009/ OS X 10.7.1/ Radeon HD 5870

The problem beguiling me is loading discs in the SuperDrive (either, I've two) and having them not appear on the desktop and freeze up any attempt to read loaded devices to unmount/force eject (ie; Disk Utility or the Eject pulldown button in the menu bar)... I couldn't even shut down without the process freezing up–the screen would turn grey with the rotating bars and never shut down–forcing me to hold the Power button to force shutdown. This subsequently would give me hard drive file count errors any time I ran Verify Disk which I'd have to fix via Single User Mode. After watching how the Finder would refresh after login after Total Finder loaded I decided to try uninstalling Total Finder. I now have no problems with discs showing up. None.

To help troubleshoot I was perusing Console.app logs but haven't found anything useful. Will post further results later, God willing

I can remove items from sidebar in v1.2.5. Are you holding down the command key when dragging out of sidebar? Just the Finder, not TotalFinder, requires you hold the command key to remove item (at least in Lion).

Corpsecorps had trouble on 04 Jul 2011
Has never ceased to be unstable (crashes after a day or so of regular use) or to have rendering problems. The NVidia 8800 GT is the best graphics card for a Mac Pro 1,1 and when Finder starts up, windows flicker into place, first rendering as incorrectly sized boxes with title bars in the wrong place, then quickly re-rendering correctly.

Pieces of windows flicker into or out of existence as I change Spaces.

Attempting to drag a tab from a window causes a random transition to another Space after which there's nothing shown under the mouse pointer until I let the button off. Then the new single tab window appears, but is now in some random space instead of the one I began the drag in.

8800GT? Get a 5770 at least! ;) The 8800GT's slower than a Radeon 3870.

5770 on a Mac Pro 1,1?! I don't think so.

I tried a Radeon 3870. It was a piece of crap. Regularly caused havoc with the system. When I tried it with windoze under Bootcamp, the ran ran full tilt 100% of the time.

I guess I spoke too soon in my review (in Reviews/Comments) because after a couple weeks of use, v. 1.1.5 sidebars and sometimes a whole pane when in dual pane mode keep disappearing, replaced with a featureless grey field.

TotalFinder had crashed once with me running OSX 10.6.6. (or rather it had crashed the Finder) A window came up where a report was to be sent to Total Finder but that did not function very well. A beach ball came up and just stayed there. Also upon login the totalfinder window appears from the bottom several times and then disappears...is that normal? I think I will reinstall this version and see what happens....

v1.0 doesn't seem to play nice with Finderpop anymore. I get windows opening on their own and without tabs when I select a sub folder from the sidebar via Finderpop.

Never had a problem with the pre-v1.0 versions.

You may wonder why I post this here. I simply refuse to jump through Twitter/Facebook/etc hoops to get a 'bug' report to the dev, but that's how the dev's set up the reporting system. Here's hoping my msg will be read anyway.

I totally agree! No matter how popular and pervasive Twitter and Facebook have become, I also refuse to join the legions who seem to have so much time on their hands. I also refuse to join simply to report bugs to a developer or to contact them for general questions. For that reason alone I will not buy this app.

What are you talking about?

Twitter is not good channel to report bugs at all. I have it mainly for announcements and to track mood after releases. I don't use Facebook at all for BinaryAge community.

Your main support place should be getsatisfaction.com/binaryage. Simply because I need to answer publicly. Writing individual emails or answering at random forums is too ineffective. I don't want to make your life harder, I would be gladly supporting you at places which fit you best. The problem is just that my day has only 24 hours :-)

Oh, excuse me, Dr Win. I thought that perhaps the 'Support' menu item at your website would be the one to click to report a possible bug.

It takes me to http://support.binaryage.com/ and when I complete a report and follow *all* the prompts and answer all the questions, I end up with this

And the very same happens when I try your suggested 'getsatisfaction.com/binaryage' link.
