[macOS] LocalStorage never written – favourites & per-world UI settings vanish after restart

[brandongorman]

FLC version: 7.5.0.
macOS version: 15.5 Sequoia (M3 MacBook Pro 2024)
Foundry VTT: 12.343

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch FLC, host or join any world.
2. Create at least one Favorite path in the Image or Video Browser and change a client-only module setting – e.g. Simple Calendar > “Open On Load”.
3. Quit FLC with ⌘ Q.
4. Relaunch FLC and reopen the same world.

Expected
The Favorite and module setting persist.

Actual
Both reset to default.
Server list, does persist.

What I found
~/Library/WebKit/com.phenomen.flc/WebsiteData/LocalStorage is empty - no local storage file is ever created
DevTools appears to be disabled (⌥ ⌘ I does nothing) so I can't log or clear storage from inside FLC.

Thank you for the excellent client!

Thank you for the response! I ran a writable-folder test: ```bash $ ls -ld "/Users/bg256493/Library/WebKit/com.phenomen.flc/WebsiteData/LocalStorage" drwxr-xr-x@ 2 bg256493 UALBANY\Domain Users 64 Jul 10 14:29 /Users/bg256493/Library/WebKit/com.phenomen.flc/WebsiteData/LocalStorage $ touch "/Users/bg256493/Library/WebKit/com.phenomen.flc/WebsiteData/LocalStorage/test.txt" $ ls -l "/Users/bg256493/Library/WebKit/com.phenomen.flc/WebsiteData/LocalStorage"

…

-rw-r--r-- 1 bg256493 UALBANY\Domain Users 0 Jul 14 13:08 test.txt I can create files there manually, but after adding favorites / client-only settings in FLC and quitting with CMD+Q no files are ever created in the folder. The server list persists fine. Is it possible to get a mac debug build with devtools enabled so I can watch the console and confirm whether the app is refusing to write to the folder? I'm happy to provide a screen-capture or more logs if that helps.

@brandongorman thanks for the testing this. I have an idea that might fix this. I will release the new version soon.

Glad to be of help! I love the client and this is the only issue I've got. Granted it's minor (I can reset my favorites and stuff every time I load) but it is an extra step for me and my players who use macOS. Thank you for your hard work!

Just wondering about the status of this issue. I have a couple of players (and myself) who would love to use FLC on Macs but its refusal to save local settings is too big a drawback given our game. Thank you again for the client and your hard work putting it together.

Love the software, but had to stop using it because of this issue. Leaving a comment to follow for resolution so I can come back.

[brandongorman]

Same here. All five of my players also want to use it but can't due to this issue.
