Cookie 6 and Safari 16

SweetP

Ive just released v6.7.4.1 as a Beta release. If any of you are running the version from my Store - you can updates to this version from the Updates tab

@SweetP Hi where can I find the update tab. I want to download the beta since I have the same problem.

SweetP

@Master-Yoda the beta is only available if you are using the version from my store. And the update tab would be in preferences

@SweetP Thanks a lot Russel, well done.
I installed the 6.7.4.1 Beta over 6.7.4 on Mac OS 12.6 with Safari 16.0.
I can see "localstorage.sqlite3" local storage data again, which gets removed after Safari quits.

SweetP

@Brownie great!
local storage and indexedDB's are now in a completely different location/format in Safari 16

Brownie

@SweetP Unfortunately, I had problems to allow permissions in the enable browsers dialogs after I removed all sandbox permissions with 6.7.4.1 Beta. I got a spinning wheel of death (beachball). I worked around it by force quitting 6.7.4.1 Beta and did it in 6.7.4.

SweetP

@Brownie yup, I see this too. Ill get this fixed and release another beta asap. thx for the feedback

SweetP

@Brownie Ive just uploaded Beta version 6.7.4.2 which should fix the permissions issue

Brownie

@SweetP Works for me. Thanks a lot Russell.

SweetP

@Brownie nice!
thanks

@SweetP Version 6.8 trickled down the AppStore, problem fixed.
Thank you Russell!

SweetP

@herman great!

Brownie

I installed 6.8.
Visited https://logbuch-netzpolitik.de
I pressed the big play-button on the podcast controller on this page.
I quit Safari.

1 cookie gets deleted but 2 localstorage.sqlite3 entries for that site remains undeleted. They even cannot be deleted by pressing any delete button inside Cookies.

Is that reproducible?

SweetP

@Brownie ok, try this:

Open Cookie
Open Preferences
Go to the Advanced tab
Uncheck the Never remove browser extensions checkbox

Brownie

@SweetP Does not make a difference. Databases still remain.
Same behaviour happens on
https://freakshow.fm

SweetP

@Brownie I’ll take a look tonight

Brownie

6.8.1 behaves the same as described above. I hope this is reproducible.

SweetP

@Brownie if you quit your browser before opening Safari, the issue will resolve it self

SweetP

I’ve released v6.8.1 which fixes the issue. You do need to quit Safari the first time you open Cookie so it can process the databases. This only needs to be done just the first time.

The App Store Version should be available within the hour, as it has just been approved

Brownie

@SweetP Thanks a lot Russell.
I am somehow puzzled. Quitting my browser (Safari?) before opening Safari? I tried several combinations of quitting and starting orders of Cookie and Safari but the database entries are still there with 6.8.1.
