1.15.1

released on April 18, 2023
  • fixedFixed a code injection issue where TotalFinder would fail to successfully inject on certain legacy / unsupported systems that were patched using OpenCore Legacy Patcher / OCLP. (※ Please note that this issue has nothing to do with the UEFI bootloader named OpenCore — TotalFinder has never had any known compatibility issues with the OpenCore UEFI bootloader.) Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • fixedFixed an issue where the new Coloured Labels logic would be unable to obtain the label colour of certain items that have coloured label information stored in a slightly different way than what was thought to be possible during testing. Ventura
  • fixedFixed an issue where the new Coloured Labels logic would use the oldest label colour found on an item with multiple labels, instead of the newest. Ventura
  • fixedFixed a rendering issue where the TotalFinder icon in the Finder preferences on macOS 11 Big Sur and newer would render with aliasing artifacts, especially on non-Retina/HiDPI displays where the issue was very severe. Ventura Monterey Big Sur
  • fixedFixed a rendering issue where the TotalFinder icon in the Finder preferences on macOS 11 Big Sur and newer was unable to be tinted by the user's macOS UI tint colour when selected. Ventura Monterey Big Sur
  • improvedMajor internal refactors were made to the Coloured Labels feature, resulting in better optimisation of label colour lookup operations. Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • newCertain behaviour flags that were used during the testing of the new Coloured Labels logic are now controllable via TotalFinder's power-user-oriented "Tweakables" feature, which you can use by creating specific files in your home directory (~, or ${HOME}) using the command-line utility touch. See below for more details. Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • newThe newly-added Tweakable flag ~/.totalfinder-alwaysenablenewlabellookupmethods enables the new Coloured Labels lookup logic on macOS 12 Monterey and below, which normally use a different label colour lookup method that no longer works as of macOS 13 Ventura. Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • newThe newly-added Tweakable flag ~/.totalfinder-disablelabelcolourlookupoptimisation disables all Coloured Labels lookup optimisations, which may be useful as a troubleshooting or debugging step. Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • improvedMade many improvements to the TotalFinder diagnostics utility (diagnose-totalfinder.sh) that improve the usefulness of its output. Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • newAdded an experimental feature that allows users to make the Visor show above other apps, but not the Dock whenever the Visor is in a pinned state. This experimental feature is currently only accessible by running defaults write com.binaryage.totalfinder TotalFinderVisorDrawAboveOtherAppsWhenPinned 1 in a Terminal session. (※ Replace the 1 with a 0 to disable the feature.) Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • newA new Visor-related Tweakable flag was added: ~/.totalfinder-useaggressivevisordrawpriority will set the Visor window to a much higher draw priority when the "Show on top of the Dock" feature is enabled. This can be useful if you encounter an app that is still able to draw above the Visor even with "Show on top of the Dock" enabled. Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
  • improvedVarious other internal refactors and improvements were made to TotalFinder as a whole. Ventura Monterey Big Sur Catalina
