Alas, with 10.9 cfprefsd came along (which otherwise offers a lot of good stuff) and things get cached, overwritten, or remotely stored in obscure fashion (Safari bookmarks in iCloud) so that I often found myself unable to recreate what I had had previously just by restoring the pref file. ![]() Now obviously, a much cleaner solution would be to rely on backed up plists and such. Every once in a while I’ll have to resort to them to see exactly how I had things set up before macOS decided to nuke my setup.

Just installed Mavericks and noticed that cmd+click on a sidebar item in the visor opens a native Finder tab instead of a TotalFinder tab. Now I know this will sound very much like duct tape, superglue, and bale wire, but hear me out. Try Finder prefs > Sidebar - Cmd, - they may just have become unchecked Any that are still missing after that - previous customer entries etc, can be restored by selecting the appropriate drive/folder/app in any Finder window & hitting Opt Ctrl Cmd / or File Menu > Add to Sidebar. Even without links to external or networked drives. ![]()
