FileBot

Good question. IDK.

The Launchpad method might remove the preferences (same as iOS apps - might because I haven't tested it with FileBot but it did with other Apps.)

The 'Move to Trash' definitely does not.

Probably best to go with the classic way of "uninstalling" software then.

Quick Update: FileBot r7580 should work on older OS X 10.10 and 10.11 machines again. FileBot 4.9.2 will be released around mid-June, probably.

If you're using the MAS, please keep a backup of your current installation, and update immediately when the new version comes out, and check it it works, and tell us if it doesn't, because we don't have OS X 10.10 and 10.11 machines for testing ourselves.

MAS rollout can be cancelled, but only within 7 days, so if the next release still has the same issue, it'd be good if somebody told us that it's not working on older devices within those 7 days.

FileBot 4.9.2 has been released on the Mac App Store with macOS 11 Big Sur forwards-compatibility and OS X 10.11 El Capitan backwards-compatibility. OS X 10.10 Yosemite is no longer supported, but the MAS should give you an older version for that one.


Please update (after making a backup) and confirm whether or not the latest FileBot 4.9.2 is now indeed working on your OS X 10.11 El Capitan machine. Please do so within 7 days, since we won't be able to stop or revert the rollout after that time has passed.
