    If you go to system preferences > Externsions > Finder Extensoins

     

    You should be able to disable finder integration.

     

    Hope this helps!

Hey there happy2fly - how are you today?

Can you clarify this for me as I'm not sure what you mean exactly? Specifically, what do you mean when you say "When it's disabled the image dimensions are displayed in the Finder with my pictures rather than "up to date"?

In addition, you should be able to enable or disable this option through your desktop app's preferences on the General tab as you mentioned . If you're not getting that option, could you send me a screenshot so I can have a better look into this?

Thanks in advance!

    Yes, since the last update the option to disable the finder integration disappeared from the general settings tab! Please add it again, looking at hundreds of green icons on the screen makes the finder for me unusable right now...

      Agreed. This is awful. Please bring it back.

    This is what my preferences General tab looks like now. The "Enable Finder Integration" option is gone.

      Please add this option again.

      Some users do not want green checkmarks and a bunch of contextual menus.
