This was also good excuse to refactor the whole XCode project into several smaller projects, solve dependencies, improve build scripts and clean things up. I understand the geek inside of you, so in the future I will write a separate technical article about how it works :-) You can then compile it on your own in case you want to be 100% sure about the kernel extensions on your system. This way when you happen to look into /System/Library/Extensions you won’t scare yourself to death by forgetting Echelon is simply something related to the peace-loving TotalFinder.Īnd by the way, if you are still scared please note that TotalFinder.kext is going to be also an open-source in a few days on GitHub. So I decided to rename it simply to TotalFinder.kext. ) A general project refactoring and Echelon renameĮchelon scares people too.

Of course I will be glad to get some feedback/code reviews on this.Īnd as a side-effect I’ve learned how to rule the world with my own Scripting Additions. Don’t worry, I will open-source my solution in a few days on GitHub. But I’m using my own OSAX to do the Finder injection by default. TotalFinder.bundle is still a SIMBL plugin and you can run it with SIMBL if you want to play with ist. I was able to implement a future Finder version check like this: It does not need Agent and it is Snow Leopard only, so it turned out to be really easy (the plugin injector has less than 100LOC). Actually it does no good with Finder’s auto-restart and it has complicated my life in the past (I needed to prevent a continuous crashing scenario, for example) I don’t really need SIMBL’s Agent functionality.To sleep well at night I wanted to implement a future compatibility check for Finder.Testing compatibility and keeping up with Finder.app alone is quite enough work for me. I don’t want to depend on a component which may evolve.It should be ideally one-click experience. I want TotalFinder installation and uninstallation to be as seamless as possible.Is it really worth it to replace SIMBL with my own homebrew solution? And let’s be honest, the SIMBL homepage is not very welcoming to non-programmers.

They will probably want to look at it and understand what it is.

A user needs to install a separate program prior to TotalFinder. Running an installer is not much work, I know. The current version of SIMBL has one fundamental problem related to TotalFinder. TotalFinder probably would not be here today without SIMBL. All kudos to Mike Solomon who has been doing an awesome job on it for so many years. SIMBL is a great and well maintained software.

We didn’t get any further than that, because the problem went away.The full changelog: TotalFinder loves SIMBL, but SIMBL scares people on the streets Thank you very much for reporting this and for helping us track it down!

You might also try creating a new account on your Mac and launching OmniFocus 2 from that account just to see whether the delay is associated with account configuration or your system configuration. You could try quitting some other applications and extensions to see if you can narrow it down that way, or you could run the sysdiagnose command in Terminal to collect information about everything that’s running and we could try to sort through that together to see if we can figure out what’s causing the delay. So at this point I’m starting to think that there’s some other process involved which is the underlying culprit for all of this. At first I thought maybe it was waiting for OmniFocus and they were in a deadlock, but then as I looked more carefully I realized it was looking for its own internal script suite (which OmniFocus can’t even access from its sandbox). Meanwhile the Apple process you sent in a sample for is also idle, also waiting for the system to grant access to one of its own files. Thanks for sending that sample in! It looks like OmniFocus is just idle, waiting for the system to grant access to its lock file. When I looked into jaworthen’s sample report, here is what I wrote back: When reviewing activity monitor while it is trying to open, four processes are in red, including OmniFocus (Not Responding), SIMBL Agent (Not Responding), (Not Responding) and PowerboxInjector (Not Responding).
