Yeah, that was basically FCPUGG's point in his original message. He blamed some Finder crashes he was having on it, which sounds unlikely to me—Finder shouldn't crash because you have some file or other somewhere on your hard drive (nor for any other reason, but that's a particularly bad one). There are several reasons why the uninstaller doesn't take out the ticket files, most of which boil down to it being user data. It's not something we created; the Growl software created it, but you might have modified it. If we delete those files, we delete changes you made. The other reason is because it's a simple one-step AppleScript app. If we add an option to also delete the ticket files, then it's a multiple-step app, and that sucks a thousand times more than the current uninstaller UI does. We have some plans lying around for a redesigned (non-AppleScript-based) uninstaller that would include an option to delete the ticket files, so yes, we do know about this and have plans to fix it. There are simply a whole bunch of other things that are more important (new GrowlMail, new Growl apps tab, etc.). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
