Dear WeatherCat AppleScript fans,
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I asked my question on the Growl forum and someone quietly pointed out that there is a
"minor",
"insignificant",
"you'll never notice it", change in Growl version 1.2 and 1.3.
All they did was change the name of the application that AppleScripts are supposed to use from
GrowlHelperApp to . . . .
Growl.
But wait there is more cruelty . . . . . could they have just
said that? . . . . of course not.
Quoting directly from the
1.3 changes notes:
Any existing AppleScript will need to be changed to account for GrowlHelperApp and Growl, and not just GrowlHelperApp.
Now anybody reading this could
intuitively conclude that they have changed the name - correct? Especially when they have sample code that . . . . doesn't mention any name to use in the scripting at all, and doesn't explain why . . . . . . .
Ya'know, it is experiences like this that make's a person wonder if the criteria for the justifiable use of force shouldn't be enlarged!! *Heavy Sigh* . . . . . .
So to make a long lament longer, unfortunately my AppleScripts are indeed broken under Growl 1.3. Worse, it is going to take a while to change everything to use the recommended calls instead of what I had been using before.
So sorry gang . . .
All I can recommend for now, is that you really want to use my AppleScripts that you temporarily downgrade to Growl 1.2.2 which you can download for free at the Growl web page:
http://growl.googlecode.com/files/Growl-1.2.2.dmg. If you do that, you'll be able to reinstall Growl 1.3 from the Mac App store when I have the new versions ready.
Bummer Dude!!
