[QUOTE="varxx, post: 1791590, member: 300395"] Yeah, I'm sure he's not being malicious, but sometimes well-intentioned tweaks or hacks have unforeseen consequences. I agree, in principle, and I run a Linux machine that I routinely mess with until I break it. But I have that as an expectation and am used to getting myself out of jams with help from the huge, and hugely knowledgeable, Linux community. Plus, it's not a production machine. That's a good link. Thanks. I can tell that XtraFinder isn't a fly-by-night app. On that page you linked, there's an interesting comment about XtraFinder's features from a poster who says he's been using Apples since 1984: But, back to your post: Still, if "code injection" needs to be enabled, I figure there could be some nasty unforeseen consequences. I wouldn't worry if this weren't my primary work machine -- and if I hadn't recently been burned by a massive data loss (recoverable from online and local backups, but with a lot of hassle; the bigger the drive, the greater the hassle when data recovery inevitably becomes necessary).
