XtraFinder 3 similarly monkey patches Finder, so it also won't work with Rootless enabled.

If TotalFinder (and the free alternative XtraFinder, for that matter) can do these just by monkey patching, then Apple with all the control and infinite resources definitely could do these.Īnyway, complaints aren't going to get me anywhere. Pretty simple, aren't they (except point 4, which won't happen in stock Finder for the forseeable future)? Especially point 1, which should be desirable for all users, power users and dummies alike.

However, it still survived all the way up till Yosemite. Back in 2013, when Finder tabs was announced for Mavericks, there were hints from BinaryAge that TotalFinder might be discontinued one day, because apparently Finder tabs is a "serious hit for our business".

I was listening to Accidental Tech Podcast E128 today, which discussed the implications of Rootless (i.e.
