Yes :( Certainly not a retrospective fix, but mindful of the future should any apps use growl after this proposed change… I don’t see how the ban-list works retrospectively either, though? Dropping it in from an upgrade still requires the user to get past the upgrade, and would be disabling those apps for a lot of users who may want them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
