The prior complaints about Growl being installed (perhaps without option or warning) along with other apps (CS5 in that case), got me to thinking about how I might want to handle it if I wanted to deploy Growl on a large scale.
One thing I think I'd want would be to be able to set up some default preferences (in /Network/Library/Preferences or /Library/Preferences - basically by copying my own to there and making them read-only), which would in effect be used to initialize the user's preferences. That way, I could try to set everything up to be as much helpful and as little disruptive (i.e. not making my phone ring) as possible. Can that be done now? (I haven't looked at the code, let alone into the detailed description of the API functions for manipulating preferences, so I don't know if that sort of behavior might be automatic) Or if not, would it be a reasonable request for a future addition? Anything else that might be handy for mass deployment? Like an installation option to go into /Network/Library rather than /Library for the rest of it? Seems to me that if there were good enough support for mass deployment, application developers might be more willing to leave it up to those installing their applications whether and how to install Growl. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
