For people who don't want Growl, #6 is the only correct option. For people who do want Growl, we'd be better off picking one of the above and sticking with it. The current check is once a day. This is quite common and I don't think it's excessive, and I think the majority of those who'd disagree with me are the people who don't want Growl in the first place. It'll remain possible to put off the decision if you don't want to update right then. > So, I do believe you may have another rouge bundler out there. Well, maybe. I hope not. Prior to all these application developers deciding it was OK to install things without the user's permission, the most common way Growl got installed without permission was that the user gave permission by accident. They'd launch an app like Adium (which includes our official installer framework) for the first or second time and get the “Do you want to install Growl?” prompt, and they'd simply click OK without reading it, or maybe hit return or enter by accident, or be away from their computer and somebody else “helpfully” hits OK for them. Could that be what happened to you? (Note that Adium is not the only app that uses our installer framework; there are a few others.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
