Feature Request: Add uninstall directions to readme.md about syncthing-macos HOT 4 CLOSED

On Mac OS X you drop the application from the Application folder to your trashbin. But there are kept some files, indeed the "dotfiles". Which are located under $HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing for OS X, these files are the configuration, encryption/profile files and the database cache (see https://docs.syncthing.net/users/config.html#description)

Would you like to see the syncthing-macosx documentation updated on this topic?

Thanks! Much obliged.

Re: updating the documentation, I think it'd be good to have something as simple as a link to this issue or you can copy what you wrote directly verbatim.

Syncthing-macosx makes it so easy to get started with Syncthing which is great for intermediate users who might not know how to install from binaries or don't want to install a package manager. Searching for the osx uninstall process on the syncthing forums only yields threads which relate to uninstalling the osx binaries. So you sort of have a situation where it's easy to get in but difficult to get out.

Thanks again!

Great, will look into that. I have started an native implementation due to the lack of a nice and clean wrapper. I still have some ideas to improve it but not implemented yet (e.g backup of config and profile). Also something like dropbox overlays in finder "stuff is in sync, stuff is syncing" icons are very nice to have.
