How to fix that the SoundFlow window doesn't show up (after screen layout change)?

    Hi! I have a small issue on one of my systems only (SoundFlow doesn't automatically open it's own windows when chosen through the menubar icon, I must manually go into SoundFlow then Window>New Window. I'm hoping a complete Uninstall/Reinstall solves the issue.

    Are there instructions somewhere on how to do a complete uninstall?

    Thanks!

    1. Hi Dustin.

      The likeliest cause for this is a reconfiguration of screen layouts so that the window opens up on the wrong screen.

      Run this in Terminal to remove the window state file, and it should work again:

      rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/SoundFlow/v2/sfgui/window-state.json

          Thanks Christian, that did the trick!
          Happy New Year!

          1. Awesome :) I'll log a bug report for this so we can hopefully make it work regardless of screen layout changes.
