Transmission won't stop showing old "Seeding Complete" alerts on launch

Post by blacksheepboy »

Hi all,

I'm having a hell of a time with a small but annoying bug: every single time I launch Transmission on my iMac (running OS X, 10.11.4), it always shows the same five old "Seeding Complete" alerts, one for each of five torrents that finished seeding ages ago. Those torrents are long gone from the app—I deleted them months ago—but they're still there, as alerts, in the top right corner of my screen, every last time I launch Transmission. And worse, because they're alerts, not banners, I have to manually close them each time.

Things I've tried doing that have had no effect on getting rid of these:
- Clicking the "Close" or "Show" buttons on each alert (duh)
- Restarting (also duh); it's been doing this for months
- Installing the latest nightly build of Transmission (2.92+ (14736))
- Removing the Application Support/Transmission folder, as well as the .plist file for Transmission in Library/Preferences—even with the new nightly build, and a blank list of torrents, and all my settings cleared, those Seeding Complete notificaitons come back
- Changing Transmission's Notifications settings in OS X's System Preferences panel

…but nothing is working.

Help! And thanks so much.

Anyone have a clue what's up here and how to fix it?

Here's one clue, from the Console—at around the time I restarted, I see this message, times four, in my system log:

usernoted: Error finding matching application org.m0k.transmission

In response to x190: what the heck are we supposed to do with the links you've included? It may have been fixed in 2.91, but it's back in 2.92
BTW, I've ruled out the Growl app; I've completely removed Growl from my system (including .plist files & related folders). The persistent "Seeding Complete" notifications continue to plague me & my system.
Is anyone out there hearing this?

One more thing: performing a complete, in-deptth removal of Transmission fails to fix the problem either. I've removed Transmission and its support folders, then reinstalled. The problem returns without even downloading my first torrent.
It's hardly a major problem - just really annoying.
