Thanks for response Chris. My goal is to execute a custom business application logic whenever a growl notification is shown by a particular application. Say, for instance, mail application notifies about a new mail and "Smoke" display Growl plug-in shows the notification. I want to hook into that notification, get the notification text and do a Google search. Referring the sample display plugin, I can do all that but it it shows its own UI which I don't want; I want to do my custom action but delegate to the "default" or a named Growl display plug-in(say "Smoke") for the purpose of showing the notification. Is it possible?
If not, is it possible to have a non-UI Growl plug-in that can watch for all the notifications sent by all applications and do a custom action? Thanks again and regards Navin ________________________________ From: Chris Forsythe <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 3, 2011 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [growl-discuss] Newbie: Hooking into Growl notification sent by an application Hi Navin, Can you explain what your goal here is? I've read the question since you sent it and as of yet I can't wrap my head around what you're trying to accomplish. -- Chris Forsythe On Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 4:55 PM, NM wrote: Hi, > > >I need to parse the growl notification text sent by an application >and use a web service.
