Extra WhatsYourSign process #13

Closed Chasapple4 closed 1 month ago

Chasapple4 commented 4 years ago

Over time or some other trigger there will be more than 1 WhatsYourSign process running (as can be seen in Activity Monitor).

Does anyone know what can be done to prevent WhatsYourSign from having more than 1 process?

This happens to me, too.

WYS is a "Finder Sync" (Apple parlance for an Finder plugin) ...by design Finder.app will load multiple instance of such plugins 🤷

Will dig into this more, to see if there is anything that can be done to override this system behavior.

^^As noted above this due to Apple's/macOS' design :/ AFAIK there is nothing the tool can do about this :/
