Uninstalling/removing XBMC completely? - vampyren - 2008-09-14 Hi, I am kinda picky with programs and like to know how i can completely remove them in order to try new versions and such. In another thread i read that beside the .app the user should remove ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC But being picky i use Uninstaller so this is what i find: ------------------------------------- /Library/Application Support/XBMC /Library/Receipts/glspectrum.pkg /Library/Receipts/goom.pkg /Library/Receipts/language.pkg /Library/Receipts/media.pkg /Library/Receipts/orgxbmchelper.pkg /Library/Receipts/projectm-1.pkg /Library/Receipts/projectm.pkg /Library/Receipts/screensavers.pkg /Library/Receipts/scripts.pkg /Library/Receipts/skin.pkg /Library/Receipts/sounds.pkg /Library/Receipts/system.pkg /Library/Receipts/userdata.pkg /Library/Receipts/waveform.pkg /Library/Receipts/xbmchelper.pkg /Library/Receipts/xbmcMediaCenter.pkg /Users/vampyren/Library/Application Support/XBMC /Users/vampyren/Library/Logs/xbmc.log ----------------------- My question is why not just deliver a simple .app file as Mac users are used to without the installer that scatter these files? I'm not all to good with macs but if there is one thing i like about it that is the fact that programs are just one files and usually there is no installation I really love XBMC which is why i care to make it simple Cheers for the great progam. - davilla - 2008-09-14 "/Library/Application Support/XBMC" is alpha4 and below. beta1 was been changed so it is self contained and does not use "/Library/Application Support/XBMC" anymore. The use of a package installer is due to the need to run post-install scripts. This is an area of investigation so it might change. As it is, beta1 should only generate one /Library/Receipts/<somename>.pkg entry. So for beta1, you should see 1) the app itself 2) user prefs at "~/Library/Application Support/XBMC" 3) log file at "~Library/Logs/xbmc.log" and one more from the package install receipt 4) /Library/Receipts/xbmcMediaCenter.pkg - vampyren - 2008-09-15 Thats much cleaner what is these .pkg files anyway? I first thought it was for uninstall but there is not uninstall option with the .mpkg Looking forward to the beta. Thanks for XBMC, the xbox version still rocks - einhänder - 2008-09-18 a little hint: just install apptrap. this little tool will monitor if a new app is installed and memorize all files/paths of a single app. if you would drag a app to the trashbin, apptrap will ask you to remove all files belonging to this app. goto: http://konstochvanligasaker.se/apptrap/ |
