It was also not saving the bookmarks. I did this to fix that:

chmod 777 /var/mobile/Library/MobileFinder/Bookmarks

Warning: be careful when you delete a bookmark - it actually deletes the folder and not the bookmark. You can recover from this by moving the deleted folder out of the /var/mobile/Library/MobileFinder/Trash folder back to its original place.

Is this better than the one on the App Store? Can you also connect over wifi to transfer files?

I was excited to see a send option, but like the previous post, it just loads a blank email form.

This would be a fantastic feature if anybody knows a way to fix it!

I narrowed down the permissions problem that prevents settings from saving (I also noticed it prevented my custom GUI from applying to the Finder app). On install, the file "Finder_" has its permissions set to 4755 instead of 0755. Once you set the permissions properly it'll work fine, no need to touch the Finder.app folder itself or any other files inside of it.

That is not the correct fix.

Finder_ has special permissions (SUID bit) so that it can run as root - this gives it permission to modify files in other directories. Taking SUID off will disable a lot of Finder's capabilities for dealing with System Files.

The correct fix is to change the permissions of /var/mobile/Library/Preferences to be 777. (RWX for everything).

Note that a similar problem occurred with MobileFinder when Apple first switched from running applications as user root to running them as user mobile.

Unfortunately, some type of bug (or Apple's coding of Preferences) causes the permissions on the com.googlecode.MobileFinder.plist file to be reset back to 600 when the Home button is pressed in MobileFinder. This will cause the preferences to be unreadable on the next startup and the program will revert to defaults.

If you remember to always use the Settings|Close option, you can get around this.

any computer guru's better than me that can figure out how to fix the email functionality of mobilefinder. I have tried a few things no success, just more blank emails. I think that apps like mobilefinder and filebrowser for iphone are the best email files to friends ,family and especially for work/business. Hope someone figures it out
