Growl cannot upgrade a custom display to a new version #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have picked the Twitter Display to illustrate the issue.

1. Extract and copy version 1 into your pc's app data display folder
2. Restart Growl
3. Navigate to "http://mageuzi.com/trowl/#displays" and click on the "Click 
Here to Install" link to install version 1.2
4. Growl displays the "Display 'Twitter Display' is already installed message

Even though the links destination file 
"http://mageuzi.com/trowl/twitterdisplay.xml" quite clearly has a new version.

It seems that the only way to upgrade a display version is to download the zip 
files seperately and copy them into your app data folder...

Operating system: Windows 7

Expected Output: Growl should download the new display version and replace the 
current display version.

Growl will install the updated files *if* Growl is not already running when you 
click on the 'Install Now' link. since the display files are in use when Growl 
is running, it cannot update the already-installed files.

so the steps are:

1. make sure Growl is *not* running
2. click on the "Click here to install" link
3. Growl will launch, update the display files, and then continue starting as 
normal
