Finder to 100% CPU
Hi all,
I saw someone with this issue, but his solution doesn't seem related to mine. Like most users, I open Finder windows and they stay open when I launch a foreground app. Problem is, sometimes Finder goes to 100% CPU after a while until the windows are closed.
It's very strange. My first instinct was it was Spotlight, but now it happens relatively frequently (once a day or so). MenuMeters shows high CPU usage, Activity Monitor confirms it is Finder at 100%, switch to Finder, hit "command option w", problem stops.
Is there a way to stop this altogether?
Cheers, Brian Topping
