Bartender plist file gets overwritten #1126
Comments
I just had another report of this, but the user worked out the cause. So in his words: That may be the cause of the issue for you. |
Hi! Thanks. Will check. I'm synced using Dropbox. Unfortunately from what I know there's no way under macOS to decide which app starts before which other ones though. |
same thing happens even when using the local disk as a backup location. |
Any solution for this?I am using |
I've moved to iCloud Drive which is mounted before Bartender, but I still have the issue too. The file gets overwritten and the symlink disappears. |
I have the same issues with iCloud Drive. Bartender 3.0.64 |
Today my Bartender started empty lol. All gone, even the license. |
I switched to Dropbox, and it doesn't seems to work either. I had to configure again Bartender on my new laptop. |
Yeah, it doesn't seem reliable with any sync service. Strangely my iMac was working fine, only my MacBook was acting weird. And I remember I've updated mackup some days ago. I've just updated now on my iMac and BOOM. Bartender is back to zero there too. |
Is Bartender actually overwriting the link at |
Here is what I have: lrwxr-xr-x 1 guill staff 119 Jun 26 20:19 com.surteesstudios.Bartender.plist -> /Users/guill/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Mackup/Library/Preferences/com.surteesstudios.Bartender.plist it's a symlink. No idea how Bartender handles that though. |
lost again all settings, license, etc... time to remove bartender from the list of applications supported? |
Can you do a |
It was still a symlink at the time, after I lost everything. I've removed it now from syncing through mackup. |
For me the bartender plist symlink gets replaced with a default Bartender plist when it opens. I am But, I think this is a Bartender issue as even copying the plist that Mackup has copied from my other machine results in the same behaviour. Maybe it silently fails and restores default config if there are apps missing on the restore destination? Also: Bartender 4 has settings in |
It's been a minute since any conversation about this, but this is still a thing with Bartender 5. I have a symlink in place for the plist file, but the app just starts empty every time (the symlink isn't overwritten, but it also isn't read/understood). This feels like it might be a Bartender issue to me - maybe symlinks are being respected? Going to check with that team, but thought I'd throw my experience in here in case others are seeing similar. |
I've made a few personal and app syncs and I've found that Mackup is not working for MAS apps because the plist symlink gets overwritten by the app itself.
But now I'm having the same issue with Bartender, which is not a MAS app, so I'm little lost of why is this happening.
Anyone could confirm?
