josh: thanks for the thread link. i'd searched for previous mentions of this topic but came up empty-handed. the thread was very useful in terms of the mechanisms of growl, most (but not all) of which i learned by trial and error the past few months in playing with the software itself. it's also clear from that thread that the developer's philosophy is to focus on the end user and not necessarily the sysadmin who'd like a simple method of messaging his colleagues.
your suggestion is a decent measure for sure, but, like you say, if a user installs a different app that also uses the growl framework, they'd start getting those alerts as well. but it's a start: at least i can remove some of the most obvious "offenders". :) cheers, d On Aug 16, 12:26 pm, Josh <[email protected]> wrote: > …without wanting to jump the gun, there was a related discussion last year > that might be worth a > read:http://groups.google.com/group/growldiscuss/browse_thread/thread/7049... > > david: i am assuming that in order to enable growlnotify, you are including > the growlnotify.growlTicket somehow. > if you are aware of the other applications you are distributing that include > the growl framework, one solution would be to also include the growlTickets > for those, and pre-emtively set them to disabled. it won't leave > notifications disabled for any new app that the user installs, but given you > have control—i assume—over the initial bunch of apps included, you should be > able to at least cover that default setup? > > josh > > On 16 Aug 2011, at 20:23, Chris Forsythe wrote: > > > > > > > > > That's not what I asked, I need to know why so that I know how to answer > > your question.
