9/28/2023 0 Comments Totalfinder causing problemsThe only oddity was the above problem was not unique to only the WD Books meaning it would crop up at times when accessing my SSD boot drive or other drives in my system. Everything still seems to be functioning OK so I wanted to report that here. Things seemed OK so I reinstalled TF and updated to the latest version. Interestingly, and perhaps significantly, it does work if Tabs in Total Finder preferences is disabled. An example, if you select Show in Finder from the Login Items list under System Preferences -> Users and Groups, it just doesn’t work. So I DL’ed Smartware and installed the Mavericks comparable package and waited a bit to see if I still had problems. I know that this is a long-standing problem but it is still happening in 1.11.3 under macOS 10.14 Mojave. I had received an update notice from WD a while back but things being what they are I did not update/reinstall the Smartware software. Even had the closing of folders delay and quick view delays… I thought this strange until I realized I was using my 3 attached MyBooks and the WD Smartware software was not installed. After removing TF I had some sessions of file organization and the problem persisted. During this time, somewhere in there I began having the problem listed above. As I said I had no problems when I upgraded but to be on the safe side I removed Smartware anyway. I updated to Mavericks before getting the bulletin but did not loose any data (phew!) The bulletin suggested removing WD Smartware, then update/grade to Mavericks and NOT re-install WD Smartware until WD investigated the problem and posted a Smartware update. Wel… I reinstalled TF last week and have not seen the same behavior but I also have not had any intense ‘organizing files/folders’ sessions either… But what I did find and suspect this was the problem is this…Ī while back WD issued a bulletin about its WD Smartware causing SOME WD Books to loose data when updating to Mavericks.
