More agent than daemon, but otherwise, yes, that's exactly what it does. > this requires it to > 1. sit, admittedly not doing much, around all the time, Not doing *anything*. The only time GrowlSafari actually takes up time on the processor is when it launches and when another application launches, and the only thing it does in the latter case is check whether the newly-launched application is Safari and, if so, inject into it. The rest of the time, GrowlSafari uses up no processor time and very little memory. > The Chax iChat plugin (http://www.ksuther.com/chax/) has had to > adapt similarly, but in this case, the application acts as a full- > blown wrapper, so when I want to use iChat, I open Chax instead (and > I register Chax as the default chat app, etc.) Yeah, what a hassle. And you can only have one of those—you couldn't have GrowlSafari and another Safari-injector app if both apps did it that way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
