Cookie 5

That's great!

are you able to add this as a .crash file?
My debugger can't read it as a pdf

possibly in a future update, ill look at also adding Safari Extension support (Safari only).
but I have no time frame on this...

v5.5 is ready waiting for me to package up for release some time this week.
thanks for the suggestion.
🙂

Hi, thanks for the response.

No, I don't have "Run Cookie in the Background" checked.  I did read the Forum wrt the problem before posting, and saw that you make that point.

Re Safari not sending any notifications on tab closure, I had a very quick look on the weeb and fell over this page:
https://developer.apple.com/reference/safariextensions

It contains some events which might be helpful, eg:

Safari Activate Event: Instances of the SafariActivateEvent class are used to notify listeners when a tab or window is activated.

+ SafariCloseEvent:  Instances of the SafariCloseEvent class are used to notify listeners when a tab or window is closed.

Clearly, going that route would metamorphose Cookie into an extension rather than a helper app... but would that be a Bad Thing

Wish I could help, but am a Linux coder, Apple and its pretty-much-closed source aren't somewhere I wish to go, my life's too short 😞

C'mon, let me encourage you to go for it!

my apologies Alexxx,

send me an email and ill try and fix this for you:
support@sweetpproductions.com

all you need to do is open Preferences, go to the "Display" tab and check "and Hide Dock Icon"

Sounds very much like my experience except for the crash (which I didn't have) and the prior good experience - since I just purchased it for the first time.  I'm not sure that Cookie ever removed anything from Safari??  I uninstalled it and have given up on a refund - the hoops between Apple Store and Sweet Productions are not worth it for $15 - a write off charged to experience.

The Favorites will only show if the cookies
are actually present in the browser.
I'm changing this behaviour so Favorites will show always in the next version. (5.5)

I should have a beta version ready hopefully this weekend or early next week.

if you hold the OPTION key when you press the download button, i think it forces the install

Thanks, that was it. I can't believe I missed that. I recently rebuilt my computer and didn't realize iCloud was on. I usually disable it first thing.

ok,
thats great.

Hi Rob,

when it happens again can you send me your preferences file:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5/Data/Library/Preferences/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5.plist

support at sweetpproductions.com

You should be able to expand Chrome in the sidebar to reveal all individual Users, then customise settings/favs from there.

"Manage Cookie types separately" will give you a layout more like Cookie4 with databases/cookies/flash/silverlight. By default Cookie 5 has the option unchecked, and all types grouped together.

"Enable Sub domain favoriting" allows you to favorite individual cookies rather than entire domains like in Cookie4

I purchased through the apple store before Dec the 1st 2015 (about 18 months ago)

Im not getting reports of broken features?
when i do I try to fix them asap.
I prioritise emails i get through the link in the menu; over Mac App Store or MacUpdate comments/reviews (I dont check all that often in either of these places).

as for the cache items, Safari sometimes preloads some sites in the background on launch. Top Sites can be an example of this. Are you sure this is not whats happening?
or perhaps even HandOff/iCloud are regenerating data.

If you are using the trial, then you should have the scripts correctly installed. The MAS version requires a separate download to comply with Apple policies.

make sure you also removing browser cache periodically

Thanks - I just started using the trial version. I just updated to Sierra from Mavericks and found Safari Cookies no longer works, and am happy that Cookie is available in its place.

you an delete the favorites file from here:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5/Data/Library/Application Support/Cookie5/Favorites.plist

do you have iCloud and continuity enabled? Safari may be regenerating cookies from your other devices
