OSX Yosemite is coming...Problems?

F.W.I.W. , the 2011 macbook pros have a history of frying the logic board/ graphics cards. I know from personal experiance! I wonder if that issue could be contributing to your problems?

I've seen the same problem described better on another site. Same conditions... A clean Yosemite OS. And a new download of Sketchup. It's not "Finder" that's crashing. It's the "in program " access to the file system. So in Layout, it won't create the window that accesses the file list more than once. In sketchup, it won't create the window that accesses a texture list or when you want to add a local component library... It won't create the window that accesses the file system to locate the reference file more than once.
I've rolled back to Maverics until this is solved. I wonder... Just prior to wiping the computer there was a OS Yosemite update. It included a security update and it might be what slowed the startup on my Mac. On reinstalling Sketchup on Mac , there's always that caution that you're opening a program that is downloaded from the internet. What if it's the OS interfering with the program accessing the file system because it's not recognizing the app author?

Most strange! This is not happening to me with the latest Yosemite and SU, so obviously it is something specific to your system...but what? Have you looked in the console logs to see if there is a flood of messages when these things happen?

I doubt a security issue over the app author would slow things down. When I've seen such problems, there is a dialog that pops up and blocks the app completely until you give permission to proceed.
