delegate/notification for when growl is enabled/disabled #405

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What feature or enhancement do you propose?

Send a delegate or notification in the framework when Growl is started or 
stopped, corresponding to isRunning.

What problem does it solve/What benefit does it provide?

isRunning won't have to be polled continuously to determine if Growl is running 
or not (to show/hide Mist options).

Why would you need to show/hide mist options, since it's simply a on/off? 
Wouldn't that also apply to Growl as well? This seems like complication to a 
simple process, which is why I'm asking.

If the user has Growl running, I want to hide the option to enable/disable Mist 
(since they can configure notifications in Growl.app).

I get that is what you want to do, but why would you do that instead of have a 
"enable notifications" that the user selects that handles either Mist or Growl, 
regardless of which one it is?

I think it makes sense to enable and configure in the Growl prefs. Regardless, 
this would still be needed for showing/hiding a button to open Growl, relevant 
text, etc.

Alright, I think i get it now. Let me summarize this and confirm that this is 
what you mean.

1) You want to have some preference to enable/disable notifications in general.

2) If Growl is running, you want to present the user with a button to configure 
your application in Growl via the new URL scheme in 1.4.

3) If Growl is not running, you would likely not show a button at all to 
configure notifications in Growl.

Does this summarize what you want?

Yes. except for three I have a simple checkbox to enable or disable Mist 
notifications. I already have this working, and can determine which set of 
options to show based on the framework's isRunning method, but I have no way to 
know if they app is launched or quit to change which set of options are shown 
while running.

Closing as fixed in source, for Framework 3.0.  The new isGrowlRunning property 
on the proper singleton is observable, and can be used as a readonly binding.
