Thanks for getting back, Chris. I had tried that before and have tried it again. No result.
BUT, I got it to work finally. It was Skype notifications getting in the way (my fault overlooking that they might). Skype did not switch over to Growl 1.3.x when upgrading for some reason (it did on my iMac but not on my MBA - not sure why; maybe Growl 1.2.2 was still running when I had uninstalled it?). Here's what I did to get it to work - for the benefit of others, maybe: - I've stopped Growl 1.3.2 and have deinstalled it as documented, removing all left-over files - I've updated Skype to the last version (although that may not have been necessary) - I've installed an old Growl 1.2.2 version I had hanging around > Remark: without this step the option in Skype to let Growl handle notifications would stay grayed out - With Growl 1.2.2 being up, stop/restart Skype, go to preferences there and activate Growl notifications - I've then stopped Growl 1.2.2 from the preferences pane and uninstalled it with the uninstall script - And then have re-installed Growl 1.3.2 from the App Store ==> works Cheers, Fritz On Dec 20, 5:07 pm, Christopher Forsythe <[email protected]> wrote: > Try removing or renaming the helper app plist and the directory listed here: > > http://growl.info/documentation/growl-package-removal.php#otherfiles > > Chris > > > > > > > > On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 4:38 AM, ffxf <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > I'm at v1.3.2 and it seems like the upgrade to 1.3.1 and later to > > 1.3.2 has not worked cleanly.
