I'm not the OP, but there are 3 things I still like Growl for better than OS X notifications: 1. "Sticky" -- This is huge. I could overlook the others if I could get this. I use growlnotify to tell me when something has gone wrong in shell scripts, and that always uses --sticky to make sure that I see them when I come back to my Mac if I was away when it happened. 2. Too truncated -- OS X notifications don't show nearly enough text of the notifications itself. Growl does this much better (although even Growl doesn't wrap lines that are very long, like file paths, which I sometimes need) 3. Proper icons -- the command line tool `terminal-notifier` has been updated to let you specify the app icon, but that doesn't help all of the other apps that don't use OS X notifications. There also seems to be a bug that if you specify the app icon then it seems to prevent -execute or -open from working properly. FWIW TjL ps - OTOH the only reason I like OS X notifications more than Growl is that OS X notifications can do things when clicked using `terminal-notifier` and either -execute (run a shell command) or -open (open an URL) and I don't _think_ there's a way to do that with Growl… I'd love to be wrong about that ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
