TotalFinder Sierra Modifications: A New Challenge for Power Users

With the latest build of TotalFinder, power users can now enjoy some functionality on the current beta of El Capitan, but only with System Integrity Protection turned off. However, this comes with a caveat - some features are missing, including colored labels and folders on top.

The development team behind TotalFinder is not planning to port it to El Capitan in its entirety. It will require significant effort to re-write the missing features, which may not be feasible at present. Instead, they are focusing on supporting older versions of Mac OS X, such as 10.9 and 10.10.

In a recent blog post, the team revealed that System Integrity Protection (SIP) is a major obstacle for their products. SIP is a new feature in El Capitan that prevents both modifications to system files and processes while they are running. This means that TotalFinder and TotalSpaces2 cannot run on El Capitan in its default configuration.

However, power users who are willing to take the risk can turn off System Integrity Protection by rebooting into recovery mode. Keep in mind that this is not a recommended operation for regular users as it affects all new protections.

In light of these changes, the development team has announced a 50% discount on both TotalFinder and TotalSpaces2. They will continue to support older versions of Mac OS X, but it's clear that their products will no longer be consumer-facing.

For those who are not planning to upgrade to El Capitan, they can still enjoy using TotalFinder and TotalSpaces2 as normal. However, for those who do upgrade, these products will cease to function in the same way due to the new security features in El Capitan.

In conclusion, while TotalFinder Sierra modifications may be a challenge for power users, there are still options available for those who are willing to take the risk. With System Integrity Protection turned off, some functionality can still be achieved, but it's important to understand the limitations and risks involved.
