- salvar 10y agoI think the quittable Finder is a default in El Capitan. Either that or I enabled the setting and forgot about having done it.
- prh8 10y agoYou must have enabled it, I'm still on El Cap and it's not the default (also did a clean install of it).
- shadowfacts 10y agoIs it actually quittable or does quitting it just relaunch it? Because using killall Finder on the command line or killing through Activity Monitor just kills and then relaunches Finder.
- Karunamon 10y agoIt is actually quittable, but you have to set a 'defaults' option to make it happen. defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool YES Once that's done, you can quit it from the menu or hit CMD-Q, and it stays dead. If you do an ungraceful quit from the force quit menu or by sending it a signal, it'll still relaunch.
