Now that Sierra along with Safari 10 is out, can you take a look at this issue perhaps? Thanks

Do you have whitelisted cookies?

Yes I do as I mentioned... it (-17) seems to add up the total number of cookies I have whitelisted.

Is this new behavior intentional?

Since about two updates ago I always have this (-17) showing in the menu bar next to "Remove all non-favorite cookies." Clicking remove does not change it. It seems to total the number of cookies I have white listed. I'm on version 5.0.8.3 of Cookie.

Here is a screenshot.

Installed the MAS version today and everything seems to be working well. Nice update Russell.

My take on all this is people are fairly patient as long as you acknowledge the problem and are working on it, like you communicated here over the last weeks. Nicely handled.

Congrats on the baby!

Ive just uploaded v4.5.2 to my site, and requested an expedited review for the Mac App Store.

Yeah... I'm seeing the same crash on app store 4.5.2. On the plus side though, it no longer corrupts the cookies database.

You can restore the BinaryCookies file, but you also need to restart the nsurlstoraged process for any changes to be effective.

Thanks for the tip. That is the piece I was missing.

v4.5 is still broken, and can cause cookie loss....

but v4.5.1 has been uploaded for review and restores full full functionality to Cookie. It will be available in around a week i guess.

Thanks for the update Russell.

Can you comment on my question about restoring cookies from backup under El Capitan. It seems to be prohibited by some unknown process (like cookiesd did in Yosemite).

I have a different issue. When I upgraded to El Capitan, all continues to work as had in the past as far as saving the cookies I wanted. Since I recently upgraded Cookie, I now need to re-login to most every site. It is not keeping the cookies in Safari it seems as it doesn't remember I was logged in just minutes ago.
Any thoughts on troubleshooting steps that should be done?
Thanks

After more usage today, I am seeing the same thing. What is odd though is from looking at Cookie it does not appear the actual cookies for the sites are being removed, so I don't understand why this is happening.

With the earlier El Capitan bug, the cookies were getting corrupted and removed, so having to reenter the login was expected. But now the cookies are still there, yet I still have to login again.

Related question for Russell... this would all be less annoying if I could just restore my cookies from backup. I see where the binary file is in ~/Library/Cookies but a restore does not appear to work. I see web info talking about shutting down cookied to allow a cookie file restore in Yosemite, but El Capitan does not appear to have that process.

Have you found a way to restore the Cookies.binarycookies file in El Capitan?

Cookie 4.5 working well for me also in El Capitan. Thanks for the update.

I do see an issue in Console log though. Every time Cookie refreshes itself (every few seconds) it fills the log with a couple hundred new entries. Just in the last few minutes I have stacked up thousands of these entires completely pushing out any other normal log entries.

You can see a screenshot below.

I'm running the latest App Store version of Cookie on El Capitan and I am seeing random cookie deletions like described in the beta thread. This is not from me doing anything with Cookie while Safari is running. Cookie twice now has just randomly gone through and deleted about 2/3 of my whitelisted cookies. Both times I went back to all the sites to get new cookies, and Cookie just deleted them again.

For now anyway, Cookie is unusable. Anything I can do to help troubleshoot, please let me know. Thanks

Edit: A little more tinkering and I discovered the random cookie deletion occurs because I had Cookie set to delete junk when I quit Safari. If I disable that option and quit Safari, then manually delete everything from the Cookies menu, things seems to work well. So it appears having delete on browser quit selected in Cookie corrupts the Safari cookies database.
