Howdy Blick, Herb, Steve, Randall, and WeatherCat fans,
Two of the reviews for Growl state that it does not work in Mavericks. I can't remember what you are running Edouard, but I know Randall is running Mavericks. Any insight Randall?
Hmm, can't run Growl on OS X Mavericks? . . . . .
Does
this answer your question!!
I don't know who is having problems with Growl, but like Steve and Randall, what I downloaded from the App Store (2.1.3) is working fine.
Found a program called Dropzone 3, while fiddling with the App Store. Half price for the rest of this week at ? [ta da!] ? $4. Has actionable items, like applescripts. Is a launch bar for applications. Looks quite useful. Just set it up. I like it. Don't know about the growl like features yet. Need to convince Edouard to cough up $4 and look at it.
. . . . .
What do you think, Blick, Edouard?
Okay, I took a quick look at the documentation, but I don't understand how it would replace AppleScripts or Growl. I see that it claims to have some support for Twitter, that would definitely be useful since our present access to Twitter is broken. Still I don't see anything for automation. Am I missing something?
Looks to me if it can be used, you would want to purchase this app directly from the developer to avoid the sandbox limitations.
If you want to expand the number of things that you can send notifications for you might have a look at OmniGrowl:
http://www.woodenbrain.com/products/omnigrowl/omnigrowl.htmlIt provides a bridge from all sorts of services to Growl. However, even if I did buy it, I ultimately never found it useful enough to keep using it. Still, others might find the sort of services that it interfaces to more interesting than I did.
Cheers, Edouard
