Oh ok. Just look at GrowlTunes source code then for starters. It tries to find album art, and if it doesn't, I believe it then sends off a notification with the itunes app icns in it instead. I don't know how you'd do the miniaturization bit like you are wanting with a screen grab, but you could build out a method to do that in your app, and then just do some intelligence to say: if grabMiniScreenShot:works = true then send miniScreenShotResults else if grabMniiScreenShot:works = false then send appIcon
Forgive my pseudocode, but that's the idea I'd go with maybe. Chris On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 11:19 AM, Dan Sinclair <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > “*I'm not sure why you would want to add this.
