What happens if you press Ctrl+R?

[sba]

when pressing Ctrl+R it shows the controls for some milliseconds and goes back to the blank screen

[oliverschwendener]

Did you use any other v9 version before or did you upgrade from ueli v8 directly to v9.5.0?

[sba]

I installed 9.1 (or around that version) and also then the same bug occured. then I was thinking I will wait with updating until the bug is fixed..

[oliverschwendener]

Ok here is what you could try:

• Uninstall all versions of ueli
• If you want to keep your settings from v8, make sure to make a backup of %APPDATA%\ueli\ueli.config.json
• Delete the folder %APPDATA%\ueli
• Install ueli v9 again and check if it works now

[sba]

thanks, now the app works!

[oliverschwendener]

Glad to hear, then I consider this to be resolved.

[sba]

sorry, me again, but the same problem occured again....
It worked well, I did some configuration, the last action I did was enabling browser bookmark search for firefox.
Now it only shows a empty window:

with no chance to go to the settings or or anything else...

[oliverschwendener]

Oh no :(

You can reset the settings by removing the folder %APPDATA%\ueli. I assume that it's some sort of issue with the Firefox Bookmark extension then. I suggest not turning that on until we know what it could be.

[sba]

yeah! It's running again!
... but all my settings were gone then (of course), so I just removed the BrowserBookmaks from extensions.enabledExtensionIds, and I can confirm it was this causing the problem.

btw: had a moment to find uelis %APPDATA%. For the store release its located under
%AppData%\Local\Packages\1915OliverSchwendener.Ueli_a397x08q5x7rp

Same issue here with a fresh install of the latest release.

Steps:
Settings > Extensions > Browser Bookmarks
Browser Bookmarks > Browsers > Firefox

• Ueli 9.13.
• Windows 11 Pro 23H2
• Firefox 133.0.3

Workaround:

• Remove the folder %APPDATA%\ueli and reinstall
  OR
• Remove the "BrowserBookmarks", line within %APPDATA%\ueli\ueli9.settings.json
