Chicken VNC Messed up

I was using Chicken of VNC and it work working fine until I closed out the computers I was connected to and then when I tried to open it again, It wouldn't open. I restarted my computer and then tried to open it but no window appears after I launch it. At the top, I go to the menu called Connection and then I clicked "Open Connection..." which should show the main screen with all my saved connections but it comes up with a blank window like in my screenshot. How do I fix this?

Sounds like a corrupted preference for it..
Close CoVNC, and delete its preference file(s) from youruserfolder/Library/Preferences.

Makes sense. The only problem I have is I don't know what the preference file is called. I can't find it when I search for random words in spotlight. I even searched through the preferences file for the system. Does anyone know what its called?

Nevermind, I finally found it. for anyone else looking for the solution, the file is in /Users/{your user folder}/Library/Preferences/com.geekspiff.chickenofthevnc.plist
