Empty folder view on restart

[reagle]

When closed and restarted, the view to the folders (from which to add or set playlist) is empty. cog: 2455,03a2c0c1

[reagle]

Perhaps this is #288, but it is closed so I did not see it on default github view of issues; will try those instructions now.

If I want to completely delete everything to start cog from a blank slate, where are the preferences kept?

[kode54]

Open Preferences, navigate to General, right or ctrl click the list, select the bottom option, then restart the player.

[reagle]

Updated to 2455,03a2c0c1, I'm not sure if by bottom option you mean "suggest paths" but that is now empty -- sometimes it shows /, /Users, /Users/reagle, ...

[kode54]

I have updated the player to correctly ask for permission for the File Tree folder the first time it is configured, rather than waiting for the grant access dialog to be opened manually. This should make it work the first time the path is set (permission granted to app by the file browser), and subsequently when the player is restarted. (permission granted by the "Grant access" dialog.)

[kode54]

The update should be live now. (App Store pending.)

I meant how do I truly remove any trace of Cog. I don't understand what is going on with the empty folder pane, and want to do a fresh install. When I uninstall via brew, there's still files such as:

$HOME/Library/Application Scripts/org.cogx.cog
$HOME/Library/Containers/org.cogx.cog/Data/Library/Application Support/Cog
$HOME/Library/Containers/org.cogx.cog/Data/Library/Application Support/org.cogx.co
$HOME/Library/Containers/org.cogx.cog/Data/Library/Application Support/org.cogx.cog
$HOME/Library/Containers/org.cogx.cog/Data/Library/HTTPStorages/org.cogx.co
$HOME/Library/Containers/org.cogx.cog/Data/Library/HTTPStorages/org.cogx.cog
$HOME/Library/HTTPStorages/org.cogx.cog

and even when I delete all of those and go into preferences, I still see my global hotkeys are configured, so I'm wondering if things are sticking around.

As noted above, I tried to nuke Cog and reinstall, first time upon launching I see this cog plus two dialogs:

It's asking me to grant access to no folder...? Dismissing those windows, I then add my music folder. But upon a relaunch, the subfolders are not showing in the folder pane.

[kode54]

I'll delete the File Tree, then.

Do you mean the player file tree? (Versus something about the sandbox.) I find it handy to have my genre folders there for easy access. I just don't know why it's unpopulated when I restart cog. I then have to click on the folder and re-select my music folder to get it back.

Same issue I have. If I reselect folder filetree shows OK.

Which is why I've removed that control. Now you absolutely have to use the normal file browser dialogs.

Select your folder again manually with the provided button.
