Growl Notifier Not Registering

Thu, 2013-04-18 13:42 — mrtoner

I can confirm that Simon 3.5.1 is not registering itself with Growl 2.01. Activity shows that a web page has changed and that the Growl Change notifier is being fired, but I get no notification and Growl shows that Simon is not registered.

Simon
3.5.1

Re: Growl Notifier Not Registering

Now that Simon requires an Intel Mac, I can probably update the framework to the newer version.

I'll make a note of that for the next update.

The Growl notifier is working for me, so if you are able to manually register it somehow, it should work.

Re: Growl Notifier Not Registering

I suspect you had your copy of Simon registered with Growl before that feature was broken. Have you attempted to remove Simon from Growl and see if it gets registered again?

I could register Simon manually, but I need to know the notification types to register -- the specific names you use when you create the notifications.

Re: Growl Notifier Not Registering

I haven't tried, no... but will do so when I investigate this.

The Simon notification for Growl is called simply "Simon Notification".

Re: Growl Notifier Not Registering

This AppleScript will register Simon with Growl:

tell application id "com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp"
	set theAppName to "Simon"
	set the allNotificationsList to ¬
		{"Simon Notification"}
	set the enabledNotificationsList to ¬
		{"Simon Notification"}
	register as application theAppName ¬
		all notifications allNotificationsList ¬
		default notifications enabledNotificationsList ¬
		icon of application "Simon"
end tell

Once registered, the Growl notifier works.
