Finding GrowlHelperApp isn't the problem since Growl 1.3 is, itself, a GrowlHelperApp (it has the same bundle identifier). A lot of existing AppleScript scripts would have broken if this weren't the case. The problem is that there's no Growl *prefpane*. Any app that looks for the prefpane (almost always by asking the framework whether Growl is installed) will fail to find it for Growl 1.3. Any app that only notifies if the prefpane is installed is not compatible with 1.3. Not to say that what you're suggesting isn't a good idea. An empty prefpane containing only a symlink from “GrowlHelperApp.app” to the real Growl.app could work… -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
