"Donate for afloat" opens repeatedly

[madvas]

After every boot, when I open application e.g Preview for the first time, it always opens this dialog:

I click open and nothing happens. When I restart machine, it happens again. It's quite annoying. Happens with other applications too, but not with every. E.g with TextEdit it does it also. I'm using Yosemite. and Afloat 2.1.1

Yep, happening here as well. Would love to know how to stop this from happening. Clicking on any option doesn't do anything and I even have afloat uninstalled and it keeps showing up.

Hi there, 

I am curious… if you click on “Show Application” where does it take you?  Afloat, or perhaps SIMBL (or rather, whatever middleman you’re relaying on)?  I myself have the same Afloat I compiled ages ago (way before 10.9, possibly even earlier) and I have no such a popup.

When I click "Show Application" this is what it opens

If I look into my Xcode project folder, I do see Donate files in there, however none of these ended up in the final/installed bundle, which looks rather very different from yours indeed: 

This is what my Info.plist looks like: 

Could you send me a copy of your Info.plist from your installed bundle?  
(You might need to rename the extension else it could get blocked)

I get a feeling there will be hooks in yours that enable the loading of the donation alert.
Note: I don’t want to be perceived as aiding in the disabling of donation nagware if this was intended to be part of the final product, so please don’t hesitate to chime in if I should refrain from pursuing this line of inquiry.

My case, I completely deleted the afloat bundle, all afloat files I found in the hard drive, did a search for any "afloat" mentions inside of files, but I still keep getting this annoying donate for afloat window.

Same problem here...but happens not just when I reboot. Randomly happens during normal work.

Me to.. quite annoying. I would even donate to fix this... but nothing happens when I start the Donate app.

BTW: I installed Afloat using EasySIMBL buy following this guide and a comment here also showed a solution (I hope/think**).

1. Start EasySIMBL.
2. Click Show Plugin Folder and navigate to the Contents folder.
3. Right click Afloat.bundle and click Show Package Content.
4. Delete the Donate for Afloat app.
5. Navigate into the Resoure/it.lproj folder.
6. Delete Donate.nib, AfloatDonateFirstAlert.strings and AfloatDonateLastAlert.strings.

The content of the it.lproj and en.lproj folder now contains the same files (different sizes).

** I have not see the popup since. But I'm also not sure exactly when I got this popup. If it is not fixed of if I get other issues I'll promise to write here again. If I don't I consider this the solution :)

I was able to fix the issue, and it's kind of the same solution as @tjementum .

Even after deleting everything related to afloat, I still had EasySIMBL installed. I opened and found a tab in there where there was another instance of afloat.
I deleted and voila, no more annoying popup!

[madvas]

@tjementum and after this solution "Keep Afloat" functionality still works?

[tjementum]

@madvas Yes... it still works. And I have not seen a popup in since.

Thanks @tjementum, works. Also worked for these guys here
