App does not work and does not uninstall cleanly #81

Looks like this after installing (openinterminal-lite and openineditor), buttons don't work. My finder looks like this even after uninstalling, so the app does not uninstall cleanly.

Installed latest version using brew cask. macOS 10.15.3 Catalina

EDIT: found out how to uninstall. you should still make it so that cask can at least uninstall cleanly or put instructions in the README.

I think this is a bug of macOS. You uninstall an app which has a Finder extension but its extension is still in Finder toolbar. It's just like a Finder toolbar "cache".

You have two ways to remove it manually.

Hold cmd key and drag the blank button from the Finder toolbar to the outside.
Right click on Finder toolbar -> Click Customize Toolbar....

@Ji4n1ng I wonder how beneficial an uninstall pkg might be 🤔. Maybe there's some script which can run to clear out that item from the toolbar. Could possibly bury an option in the settings page to run the uninstaller.

@Camji55 Good suggestion. I will provide an uninstall script or add the uninstall command in the README as @joonoro said.
