@helix, It sounds like you don't quite understand what Growl does and why. It is not your average app that take input from YOU and does something with it, like printing a letter or surfing the web or editing an image. Growl only works if other developers create apps that work with it. In other words, the INPUT for Growl comes from other apps, not you. Before Mountain Lion, there was no "Notification" system included in the OS. And that's a big reason Growl was created. And even now, Growl still does things that the "Notification" system can't/won't. And that's why it is still a benefit for those who use it. However, the basic, stripped down, non-modifiable, bland Apple created Notification Manager may be all you want/need. If so, you are welcome to use it.
So, instead of complaining about what does not work in Growl, learn more about it and its dependence on all the other developers who must do a bit of work to get their apps to send their info to Growl. :-) Besides, the developers of Growl are hundreds of times more helpful and available than the ones at Apple. Have you ever sent a question to Apple and received a response from a programmer? LOL! Have a great day! And enjoy your notifications, no matter how you get them! :-) On Thursday, March 14, 2013 4:58:52 AM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > Dear Daniel > > I used <Growl Version Detective> with the following results: > - Detective did not find <I love Stars> nor <play watch-ticher> > - Detective found <dropbox 2.0> (which is also not recognized by growl>.
