Subject says most of it 

I have looked around the site but have come up empty. Does it matter?

I ask because I had a nagging, repeated issue where version 5 constantly deleted cookies I require for my bank which forced me to re-authenticate myself and my computer to my bank over and over. I have downloaded the latest beta for version 5 but have yet to run it.

Fwiw, version 4 still seems to run like the champ it has always been so perhaps that is an argument to not even bother with version 5.

Thanks for this Russell. I did a search with Find Any File and noted quite a few other bits and pieces that referenced Cookie 5 so why would they not be a significant part of an uninstall?

The reason I was looking to uninstall is that ever since I started running Cookie 5 some cookies I mark as favourites randomly lose track. One particular set of cookies have to do with my banking login that saves my bank card number and the security connection between my bank login and my computer. I never had this issue when using any previous version of Cookie.

I was most curious to reinstall version 4.5.4 and see if the same behaviour occurs. At least then it would be a safe assumption that my bank has changed something that is interfering with the saving of the bank's cookies. If version 4.5.4 continues to act as reliably as it did previously then it would seem Cookie 5 is acting in a different manner where it fails to reliably maintain the cookies I favourited for my bank.

Subject says it all.

I restarted just now and was surprised that Cookie asked again for Gatekeeper approval. Do you have any idea why that would not have been remembered between the first install/opening of Cookie 5.0.3.8 yesterday and the restart now?

Btw, as you informed me, the version numbers were corrected after the restart.

Gord

Ok. I will watch for the correction. Thanks again for sticking with this and getting me going again.

Gord

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I am curious how long the $7.99 (11 bucks for us Canucks) listed price for Cookie 5 will be offered for. I am moving up from vers 4.5.4 but notice that I do not have to in order to have El Capitan support. You have repeatedly proven yourself as a Developer who provides fantastic support along with fantastic and reliable software but I would still prefer to test drive version 5 for a bit before committing to the purchase.

Thanks,

Gord

Thanks for sticking with this. Interesting result though. Prior to unzipping the last beta you provided I did a few things:

Started up in Safe Mode
Deleted absolutely everything I could find that related to either Cookie 4 or Cookie 5

That included the folders for vers. 4 and 5 here:

~/Library/Containers

and here:

~/Library/Cookies

along with any and all associated plists, caches and the Cookie Application Support folder.

I was pleased that Cookie launched once I rebooted after the Safe Boot, although I confess I was rather surprised at how many approvals were required. Does that have to do with SIP?

Now I notice that I get two different version numbers for the Cookie 5 install. If I check through "About Cookie" from the Menu Bar it displays version 5.0.3.8.

However, If I "Get Info" on the Cookie app that resides in my Applications Folder I get version 5.0.3.7.

I attached a couple of screenshots showing those results.

Sorry, no such luck for me. Perhaps there is something specific to my setup that is interfering at the moment. I am attaching the latest crash report but plan to do a Safe Boot and then try again.

Thanks for the effort but this version acted the same and immediately crashed. I have attached the crash report.
