How to delete everything #128

Closed Gea97 closed 2 months ago

Gea97 commented 2 months ago

Hi, my BrightIntosh broke today, I can't use the shortcuts anymore, but it works fine on my gf computer, so it's an isolated case, my question is how do I uninstall the program? (to do a new clean installation)

I noticed that even after I delete and reinstall the application my shortcut and preferences remains, so I figured that I have to remove something else, but I don't know what to remove, I don't seem to find anything in /Library

Hi, sorry to hear that. Settings should be stored at ~/Library/Containers/de.brightintosh.app/Data/Library/Preferences/de.brightintosh.app.plist. This is because the app runs in a sandbox. Maybe you should delete the entire de.brightintosh.app directory from ~/Library/Containers. Let me know if this solves your problem.

Yes it solved my problem thanks!

The only thing is that if I use the shortcuts to update the brightness then the slider remains stuck, is this expected behaviour? I don't remember if it was always the case.

I mean, I can still update the brightness with the slider, but the slider doesn't move if I use the shortcuts.

I'm glad it worked. The stuck slider is a bug, thanks for reporting it!
