How do you manually edit disabled apps?

Re: Removing app from Disable for...
Has the behavior described in that thread changed? I have tried editing
org.herf.Flux.plistwhile f.lux was not running. I have tried replacing the whole file with an older copy while f.lux was not running. No effect whatsoever to any back and forth changes, even though the plist file does update when I use the menu option to disable/reenable it for an app. F.lux has to be reading it from somewhere else, right?

What is the app you're working on? We don't support the suggestion in the other thread but if you let us know what you're trying to do we might be able to help.

@lorna It’s a full-screen game that doesn’t give me access to the menubar. Doesn’t even let me command-tab out of it. So I was hoping to be able to type in the name or path somewhere.

What files are modified when you disable f.lux for an app? How is that information stored?
-
It's in preferences - you could use an app like PrefsEditor: http://apps.tempel.org/PrefsEditor/index.php
The key for each program is called "disable-{BUNDLENAME}" and it's a boolean
disableCount should be incremented for each app added - if it's zero f.lux will not look for the current app at all.

@herf Which file? As I said, I’ve tried modifying
org.herf.Flux.plistto no effect.

Yes it is that one, but in case you're editing the file directly, you should edit it using the "defaults" app (or the GUI one linked above).
Also be sure you have the right bundle name - it usually looks like a domain name and is visible in Info.plist in the app's folder.
