Topic: [Solved] PureRef went takes over the whole screen when started.
Whenever I open PureRef it goes full screen and the only way out is to quit.
When I check the menus, all that's checked is "Lock window", but I can't unlock it because it's grayed out.
When I open pureref by double clicking a file, it opens the file full screen.
I have no idea how this happened. It's never happened before.
It would be nice if there were a way to zero all settings, or reset to default or something.

The maximized state of PureRef is saved between restarts, but you have probably tried Ctrl+F to disable it already. The option for locked window shouldn't ever be grayed out so it sounds a bit strange.
The settings file for PureRef is located under C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Roaming/PureRef.ini on windows, just remove that to reset all settings.
Any idea where that would sit on a mac? The user file structure is different. I searched for "PureRef.ini" and it didn't return anything.
On mac it should be located under /Users/<username>/.config/PureRef.ini
Folders and files starting with a . are hidden by default in the Finder, it should be there if you use the terminal to look for it:
To view the files in .config type:
ls /Users/<username>/.config/
And then to delete the PureRef.ini:
rm /Users/<username>/.config/PureRef.ini
If you still cant find it you can try to use the terminal to look for it:
sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
locate PureRef.ini
That file didn't exist in that location.
I did find these two files, and deleting them seems to have fixed the issue:
Hard Drive/users/Username/LibrarySaved application state/pureref.app-id.savedState
and
Hard Drive/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/pureref.app-id.sfl
Thank you for reporting your findings, those files are not something we know of so maybe it is part of some OS X feature. What version of OS X are you running?
I'm running 10.11.3
If there's any other information that would help you, let me know.
Alright, thank you. We will look into it!
