[fixed] Cookie 5.0.10.2 (beta) opens cookie window on launch despite setting

SweetP

does the latest beta also do this:

I rewrote the start at login code, in the Beta's to try and fix some login issues users were happening, but it seems the new code is not better at all... if you still see the issue with the latest beta, I will most likely revert the login code to the older 5.0.10 code.

Played with this a little. Installed 5.0.10.7, diabled and re-enable setting to make sure pref is set, but on each restart, cookie window is showing on desktop. if screensharing is helpful to debug this, let me know.

tried 4-5 restarts with cookie still on desktop when restarting as well as cookie closed when restarting.

oh and another issue: when cookie window AND settings window are open, ⌘W closes both. This is highly uncommon and imo bad UX. could you make it, so that only the window in focus is closed?

SweetP

do you have Cookie set to open at login in System Preferences?
that does cause a conflict with the window opening

? Offline

in system preferences > user cookie does not show up. so it seems nothing is set there.

and another problem: should I be recieving mail notifications for replies in this thread? No mails seem to be arriving.

Ok,

I've noticed that to with notifications... If I get them they come ~30mins later....
I'll take s look around the forum and see if I can change any settings.
I'll revert the login code tonight, and take a look at my window closing.

on login "start cookie" (yes) and "hide" (yes) and yet on each launch the cookie window sits on the desktop.

this is a known problem with old versions but I had not seen it in the few recent stable releases. it has now returned with 5.0.10.2 (beta).

Exactly the same here since 3 betas ...

same with Version 5.0.10.7 right now

(No cookie open at start up in user pref pane)

Ive just uploaded v5.0.10.8 and reverted the login code. I also fixed the window closing behaviour.

Probleme solved with this 5.0.10.8 Version.

Confirming as well, that with 5.0.10.8 cookie no longer shows after startup.

Thanks for adjusting the window closing behavior. So much more expected. And thanks for your quick response in this case.

SweetP

great!

the window behaviour was an easy fix, it was old code from Cookie4 which I can't remember why i made it function that way.... probably a compatibility issue with Snow Leopard...

thanks for all the feedback everyone.
