#XTRAFINDER WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY HOW TO#

I've recently been learning how to swizzle methods in Objective C when SIP is off, you can use this to replace code in existing apps, which is really quite fun.

Suffice to say, disabling SIP grants you a great deal of power over the way your Mac operates. Apple also made it possible to individually disable certain restrictions-for instance, running csrutil disable & csrutil enable -without debug will allow injecting code into protected processes, but still leave SIP's other protections in tact. Disabling SIP reverts your computer to the traditional UNIX behavior of letting root do whatever the heck it wants. For the first time on the Mac, Apple decided to define a set of actions which they believed no user or program-even one with root privileges-should ever be able to perform! Among these restrictions included installing kernel extensions from unidentified developers (the 'kext' protection), injecting code into projected processes, such as apps made by Apple (the 'debug' protection), and writing to certain protected system directories (the 'fs' protection).Īpple called this new set of restrictions 'System Integrity Protection', or SIP for short, and they also made it possible for advanced users to disable, by running a Terminal command from within recovery mode.

As recently as OS X 10.10 Yosemite, once you gave an app your root/administrator password, it was free to do anything it wanted, and macOS would not stand in its way.Īll of this changed with the release of macOS El Capitan in 2015. MacOS, being itself a UNIX operating system, also behaved this way for many years. If you've ever been told not to run programs as root unless absolutely necessary, this is why. There is basically nothing the OS will not allow a root user to do, whether it's rewriting system files, adding code to other processes, adding code to the kernel, you name it. Hope you find a solution that works for you.On a traditional UNIX system-including many major platforms still in use today, such as Debian-any user or process with 'root' privileges is considered to have absolute control over a machine.

Do the designers and developers at Apple even realize the dots to not show on a finder window that has been sized down.)

(And even though it won't be read, I did enjoy leaving feedback for the cute, tiny little dots that are meant to help quickly guide us to our most useful or favorite folders.

I'm looking forward to checking out the other suggestions that have been offered.

(Though I would take advantage of the 30 day free trial to confirm that.) Pathfinder is now in version 6 & 7, but the website says the tag colors are still available. (With finder, the text size must be set for each directory if you want something larger or smaller than the default.) There is additional functionality, but those are my favorites. The other great features include a dual pane and the ability to set font sizes globally for the sidebar and the window. Fortunately, Pathfinder 5 (by Cocoatech) still works, and the color highlights still work. I recently upgraded to the 10.9 as was disappointed to find that the color highlights. I would like to be able to have the option to either have color or gay on gray in the sidebar and to use BOTH labels and tags, since they essentially do two different things. I ask you to give them feedback in the hopes that someday they'll comply. Perhaps you should inform Apple that you need the labels for a more efficient work flow at this URL:

Unfortunately, SideEffects didn't consistently work especially after I upgraded to OS 10.9.4.

I discovered this when I tried a 3rd party piece of software called SideEffects - for a short time I could see my subdirectory colors and their functional grouping via color in the sidebar. What is interesting is that the colors for the sidebar ARE also still available, just we're not allowed to see them. I did a migration of my files from another computer that is still running OS 10.6.8 and was sorely disappointed to see the backward functionality of this 'upgrade'. I've recently purchased a used MacBkPro that came with OS 10.9.2 installed. I have the same desire to have access to the much more visually useful 'labels' in place of the new 'tags' and to have color back in the sidebar. It is interesting that the data is there, but Apple won't let us use it. My labels were migrated over from a OS 10.6.8 computer to the newer one that is now running OS 10.9.4. However I DO SEE COLORED LABELS within the subdirectory list that is available to me in OS 10.9.4 within the 'save as' window. This is not an answer, since I don't think we can have them where they are of use to us in this version of the Mac OS.
