Finder Bug (Not TinkerTool)?
Authored by: jeremiah on Sep 01, '02 07:01:27PM

I don't think it's a problem with TinkerTool. Editing com.apple.finder.plist manually to turn off the Desktop causes the same trouble. The relevant key is:

CreateDesktop
That "true" needs to be true, otherwise the flakiness begins. I can crash the Finder 100% of the time by turning off the Dekstop and then choosing Show View Options… from the View menu. Really irritating as turning of the Desktop not only removes clutter, it provides a bit of a speed boost on this old Pismo.

The comment system mangled my HTML (looked OK in the preview). Anyway, here's the correct prefs key:

<key>CreateDesktop</key>
<true/>
