I sent it to you([email protected])

from muffon.

@gamersi Thank you.
That's weird.
Will try to figure this out.

from muffon.

@gamersi Does this happen on app start or after window resize?

from muffon.

On App Start
MacBook Pro 2019
macOS Ventura

from muffon.

@gamersi I see.
Too bad I don't have a Mac to test this bug.

Could you try installing earlier versions of the app and see when the bug starts to happen?
Maybe it is related to Electron version update.

from muffon.

I am going to try it now and will tell you the result of my research

from muffon.

Ok, I just tried version 2.0 and there were no such issues. it appears to affeact only version 3 and above.
And I just want to say that you should probably include a uninstaller for macos, bekause pkgs can be tricky to delete(I had to use AppCleaner to remove everything so that it could be reinstalled)

from muffon.

@gamersi Thanks for the hint.

There will be .dmg installer for the next version.
Are they easier to uninstall?

I would think so but could make problems with incompatible local data I think

from muffon.

@gamersi How do you usually uninstall apps on Mac and what extensions do installers have?

from muffon.

There are 3 common types of "installers"

• Dmg: most popular, it has the packaged app as zip(number 3) and a reference to the applications folder. You simply drag the application to the referenced folder. To uninstall, you simply delete the zip(.app) out of the applications folder in the most cases
• pkg: executable, kinda like a windows installer. Uninstalled must be manually provided unless the app does not use local storage, then it could theoretically be uninstalled in the applications folder just like the other ones
• zip's(.app is shown in files): the content of dmgs, but it is not as convenient as dmg

This could give a few more info:

But I can just speak from my experience as I just use Mac for my laptop not as my desktop os

from muffon.

@gamersi Got it, thank you.

Will try to fix the bug.

from muffon.

@gamersi I've made changes.
Could you test them on your system?

from muffon.

I just downloaded the newest src and I think isMac is not getting initialized properly:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:

@gamersi Oops, sorry.

from muffon.

It works fine now, but if you start/refresh it in fullscreen there is a bit too much spacing

from muffon.

@gamersi I see.
Could you send me a video of this behavior?
(You can attach it here).

from muffon.

unfortunately, the video is 40MB and the size limit on github is 10MB. I am going to send it via email as I already did yesterday

from muffon.

sent it

from muffon.

@gamersi Thank you.
I've made changes.
Could you check?

from muffon.

it works like a charm now.
Thanks

from muffon.

@gamersi Thank you for your help.
