I posted this issue in the Cookie 4 forums, and never got a response. It is consistently happening to me in Cookie 5, as well.

After opening Chrome and loading various tabs, the list of cookies in Cookie eventually goes completely gray and stops updating. When I quit Chrome, the Cookie list then reactivates and proceeds to delete the non-favorites it had accumulated before it grayed out. (Screenshots attached)

Do you have any idea why Cookie 5 would stop working like this during a Chrome session?

I'm having trouble with Cookie 4 (and 5) recognizing my Chrome cookies. Often, Cookie 4 will start up with a proper tally of my favorite cookies, but at some time during a browsing session, Cookie seems to forget all my cookies and the counts all go to 0 (see attached screenshot)[attachment=32]. The cookies are still there, though - when I quit Cookie and Chrome, and restart Cookie, the favorited cookie counts all reappear.

My cookie file is located at /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Cookies

Why is Cookie not working properly with this file?
