How do I reset the Settings? about iina

[low-batt]

Opening as a feature request to support resetting all settings to their default values. Seems like something that should be added to the Utilities section of IINA's settings.

As per Apple standards IINA uses the macOS defaults system for managing your settings. The settings are stored by macOS in a property file. This property list can be modified using the defaults command line tool. To learn more about this tool open Terminal and enter this command:

man defaults

To completely erase your settings first quit IINA if it is running. Then run the following command in terminal:

defaults delete com.colliderli.iina

The string com.colliderli.iina is IINA's domain.

At least I think that command will erase all of your settings. I've not tested it because I do not want my settings erased.

When you restart IINA it will use the builtin defaults for setting values.

I will label this issue as a feature request for the ability to reset settings from within IINA.

It works, thank you so much.

@low-batt Can you reopen the issue? The reset settings button seems to me to be an important feature.
