Cookie 5 beta
-
maybe try just deleting this folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5
also empty the trash, and then you may also need to restart/logout to >make the removal final
And that was, what I didā¦
The setup process started over, asking for permissions and so on, still, after completion no Cookies show up in Cookie, though I can view them in Firefox and Opera.

I've just updated beta5.0b, with a little luck 5.0a will pick it up and install.
If not, you can download it from here:
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookie5/Cookie5.zipI have fixed all the bugs that everyone reported (that i could reproduce) and also tried to address a few usability concerns, heres the list of changes/fixes:
- fixed Chrome automated removal
- fixed permissions windows cancel
- fixed preferences not sticking when changed in setup window
- fixed Database non-favourites count
- fixed an issue with main window hiding other windows on activation
- fixed Purchase button disapearing
- slight rewording in preferences, main and setup windows (to hopefully make things a little easier to understand)
- chrome cache removal now aso removes site zoom preferences/http server properties/dns prefetching data
**NOTE: please backup you Chrome/Chromium/Opera folders, as i haven't thoroughly tested the expanded cache removal:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
~/Library/Application Support/Chromium/
~/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/
I also slightly tweaked the colour of the "All" browser settings tabs, and added a warning popover - perhaps ill make it so that this warning shows on first launch?
Also, I am leaning towards making the Preferences use a standard Preferences window, as I want to add more options in the future, and it is starting to get cluttered.
ALSO please open up the Preferences, and select the option to receive Beta updates as ill reset the standard update manifest.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
And please let me know when your licenses expire, Ill generate you a license key.
you can easily reset the trial(and Cookie) by deleting the folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5
(you may also need to empty the trash and logout/login or restart your computer.)
thanks in advance everyone!

another small update v5.0c:
- fixes non flagging of browser extensions
version 5.0b should also have fixed Sparkle updating (hopefully) so you should be able to update to v5.0c from within Cookie 5.0b.
please drop me an email at support@sweetpproductions.com for a beta license as they will be expiring sometime about now...
-
for anyone experiencing crashing with 5c. please try re-downloading, as I mistakenely codesigned with the wrong Dev ID:

another day,
another beta 5.0d:- fixed check for updates menu in preferences (double checked items)
- fixed whitelist (using the + or - button to manually add definitions would cause corruption)
You can update via the beta update channel in Preferences, or by using downloading manually:

- Selecting "Text Only" toolbar style and then clicking anywhere on it resets the view to the default "Icon and Text".
- The "Use Small Size" toolbar style option seems to switch to slightly smaller font only as icons seem to be unaffected. Is that right? I would think that smaller icons would be displayed in this case.
Some minor usability notes.
Now when I want to delete all tracking cookies I have to switch from Cookies view to Settings and perform it there. It feels a little bit confusing (or perhaps misleading) to perform such operations at place called Settings.
It would be nice to be able to select all such cookies right in the Cookies view and be able to delete them. The context menu brought up by the secondary click action does only allow to select/unselect all of them. And maybe it could be possible to double-click on the red text in the info/search bar under the toolbar and select all related cookies that way as well. -

Ill look into this for the next release.I have this fixed now and it will be in the next release.Now when I want to delete all tracking cookies I have to switch from Cookies view to Settings and perform it there.

There should already be a "Remove all Tracking Cookies" button in the footer of that tab?
Any ideas for a better name for this tab?.... General....Options....Configure....Remove....I have version 5.0e (5.0.0.0.4) ready:
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookie5/Cookie5.zip
you can update via the Preferences (make sure your'e check for Beta releases)and heres the changes, its mostly cosmetic. (i'm toying with the idea of some bigger changes for beta 5.0f....)
- now using standard Preferences window
- updated licensing window
- renamed BROWSERS to FAVORITES in sourcelist
-
v5.0f (5.0.0.0.5)
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookie5/Cookie5.zip
Some more small fixes:- fixed favoriting of "Local Storage" Databases please recheck your databases!
- renamed header on Settings tab sourcelist to better reflect the content of the tab
- fixed "text only" toolbar reverting to "icon + text"
-
and another build....
While I was looking around through my code preparing for adding domain favs, I realised I had a hidden setting for running Cookie completely in the background. Ive cleaned up the code, and aded it as an official option under the "Advanced" tab in Preferences.v5.0g (5.0.0.0.6)
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookie5/Cookie5.zip- added option to Run Cookie Headless in Advanced Preferences

Something like "General" or "Removal Options" or at least "Removal Settings" might be more appropriate.
Also I think the "Enable Unwanted Data" is quite confusing. Perhaps something like "Select Unwanted Data", "Removal Selection" might be better.Another minor glitch:
- When on that Settings tab with All browsers selected, clicking on that dotted button located in the top right corner pops up a hint "Any changes made to settings on this tab will affect all Browsers." This popup won't disappear unless I click on that button again. It stays on even when switching between "Enable Unwanted Data", "Removal Options" and "Timer Options". It should simply disappear after clicking anywhere.
Note that my trial has finally expired so I'll try to write you.

Just a small update: Still no cookie in Firefox or Opera, and besides of that, I can't check the box for timed removal of Safari tracking cookies (though there are some present), I'll upload a GIF to illustrate this.

That's really odd?
Do you have Tracking Cookies enabled on the "Enable UnWanted data" tab?I see this happening now too! I'll fix it in the next build - I see the problem, its leftover code from when Cookie couldn't edit the Cookie file while Safari is Running. I have it fixed now.I'm not sure what's happening with Firefox, and Opera.... are you running the release builds or the Dev builds? As Cookie only picks up the standard release versions not the Nightlies

Also not sure about the other browsers, it's very interesting nobody else seems to have this problem. Firefox is a standard release version, Opera is very old (V 12.16), but I do care more about Firefox.

Ok, I'll make up a build tonight for you with some debugging messages added to try and track down what's happening.

could you try this version, it has some debugging logging enabled:
Cookie5.0gbmaybe it will give me some hints as to whats going on.
all you need to do is open it up, click on the Cookies tab, and select Firefox, then Opera. Then if you could open up Applications/Utilities/Console.app and do a search for Cookie then email me the output. (you can omit the cookies if the log output shows them..... which judging by your situation, it most likely won't anyway). -

cool, got it.
could you please try the same with this version:
Cookie5gbIt seems that there may be an error reading sqlite files on your computer?
Log is on its way, so Cookie doesn't seem to have the necessary permissions, do you need any additional information I can provide?
