Custom Finder Context Menu Items stopped working (macOS Sequoia)

Describe the bug

In one of the recent BTT updates, my custom Finder context menu items completely stopped functioning. As a test, I deleted all references to the “Configure Custom Finder Context Menu Items” action, ensured the BTT menu in Finder was empty, and imported the New File Preset. Even with that attempt at a reset to default, clicking “New File” in Finder does nothing.

  • BetterTouchTool version: 6.954

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to assist in troubleshooting. Thank you!

the "executed finder click" log confirms that the communication with the finder extension is working fine. I just tested the preset you linked and that is also still working fine here - does it not show anything when you trigger that?

Maybe try something very simple like showing a HUD to see whether anything still triggers - maybe your BTT is disabled?

Thank you for the fast response!

  • Nothing is shown onscreen at all
  • I've tried all kinds of various actions in the Custom Finder Context Menu Items configuration (Show Notification, Show HUD, Named Trigger) and nothing happens when any of them are clicked
  • BTT isn't disabled
  • Should the log show different IDs for clicking different menu items? Because for me it's always 935F9D73-C53C-4B83-B675-4189F769067C.

Let me know if there's anything else I can try. Thanks again!

I just updated to 6.958, saw the Finder toolbar icon reload itself when BTT relaunched, and context menu items are working again. Thank you!

ah great. Then it was related to a change a few weeks back that apparently is not compatible with macOS 15. I have added a macOS 15 fallback in 6.958
