Re: FinderPop Works on El Capitan
Before El Capitan, I used FinderPop + XtraFinder: http://www.trankynam.com/xtrafinder/. Like FinderPop, XtraFinder is blocked by SIP. Hunting for a solution, I discovered this recommendation at https://www.reddit.com/r/OSXTweaks/comm ... ve/cvuxvtq

1. Disable SIP
2. Install XtraFinder
3. Move /Library/ScriptingAdditions/XtraFinder.osax to /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/XtraFinder.osax
4. Open terminal and run sudo ln -s /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/XtraFinder.osax /Library/ScriptingAdditions/
5. Enable SIP
Pretty sure the order of steps 1 and 2 doesn't matter

Success appears to vary; see https://www.facebook.com/XtraFinder/

As someone not technically savvy, I wonder whether the recommended solution for XtraFinder is dangerous; if not, might it help revive FinderPop under El Capitan? Sorry if his merely displays my naivete.

Re: FinderPop Works on El Capitan
Is there any hope of resuscitating Finderpop under El Capitan without doing whatever is lost when SIP is disabled?

Re: FinderPop Works on El Capitan
I'm an avid FP user but not very technically sophisticated. Will FP work if I upgrade to El Capitan? Thanks.
