Cookie 5 beta

SweetP

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.

cool, thanks for the feedback, send me an email, ill generate a license for you.

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 did…

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.

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:
~~Cookie5.0gb~~

maybe 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:
~~Cookie5gb~~

It 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?

Got it thanks.
Permissions seem ok, but I use a third-party library for reading SQLite files and it seems to fail on your computer?
Ill take a look at rewriting my SQLite code today, and send another build maybe tonight.
thanks for your help.
I'll send you a license to your email address now.

Can you try this version, Ive replaced the SQLite framework:
~~Cookie5.0gc (alpha)~~

you don't need to check Console.app, al you need to do is see if Firefox/Opera cookies are shown on Cookie "Cookies" tab.

thanks in advance!

Hi. Upgraded from 5.0b to Cookie 5.0g via auto update and it doesn't seem it removes cookies anymore. On settings a label reads that the trial expired. I can change settings, but "Removal Options" are grayed out. Also "Remove Non-Favourites" and "Remove Tracking Cookies" are grayed out as well.

Cookies 5 doesn't take my Cookies 4 license.

Thanks.

Norm

Hi. I also upgraded to 5.0g and it no longer removes cookies. Like Klaus, everything is greyed out.
Thanks,
Norm

Same here, Cookie 5.0 does not remove any cookies anymore. I assume it is because my trial period expired. It also took my quite a while to find out that the trial period was expired, it is only displayed in the settings of the main windows at not at the preference window in the license tab where I would expect it.

I also think it is confusing to have settings and preferences. Either put all setting to the main window or move them all to the preference window. I would prefer the latter because settings do not fit into the scheme of the tab bar that contains various website storage methods: Cookies, Databases, Flash, Silverlight. "Settings" is not just another storage method. Additionally, one usually does not change these options very often.

Also, Cookie always preselects Firefox in the Cookies/Databases/... tab (but not in Settings tab) even though I have it deactivated and use Safari (have only the two browsers). Can Cookie please select the first activated Browser when clicking on one of the storage method tabs of the main window?

Even worse, whenever I check or uncheck a cookie for Safari, the application instantly jumps to Firefox and asks "Would you like to give Cookies access to Firefox Cookie data?". Super annoying.

The Cookie icon in the global menubar is still hanging some pixels too low compared to other icons which looks odd especially compared to other circle icons.

Have the same problem as Klaus. v. 5 expired. I mailed you about it, Russel.

And thanks again for one of my favourite utilities.

A quick update.
I have fixed all the known bugs. And are currently implementing cookie4 style favourites. This will be the default, with the current cookie5 style favourites enabled in advanced prefs. The reason for the change is that I think cookie4 style favourites are maybe easier to grasp for new cookie users. I have this implemented and working well for cookies, I just need to roll the changes over to databases/flash and silverlight before I release the next beta.

SweetP

and here it is ~~v5.0h (5.0.0.0.7)~~
You will need to delete your favourites file after installing beta 5.0h, as Cookie will most likely crash when it attempts to relaunch
the favourites file is located here:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5/Data/Library/Application Support/Cookie5/Favorites.pli

Heres whats changed:

New default option to use Cookie4 style favorites (Cookie5 style Favs can be re-enabled in Advanced Preferences using the "Enable sub-domain Favoriting")
New toolbar icons
New licensing window
Moved "Run Setup" and "Reset All Warnings buttons to Preferences window
Changed Preferences reorganised
fixed Safari Timer setting
fixed Silverlight display
fixed an issue with Opera favorites
fixed Chrome/Chromium/Opera cookie contents now correctly displayed as being encrypted
improved code optimisation

You will need to delete your favourites file after installing beta 5.0h, as Cookie will most likely crash when it attempts to relaunch
the favourites file is located here:

Oh well, I completely overlooked that notice. My bad. After deleting the Favorites.plist it launches fine.
