no, the uninstaller removes growl only, not the settings. as with anything, if you are at all uncertain, you can make backup copies of: ~/Library/Preferences/com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp.plist # growl settings ~/Library/Application Support/Growl/ # individual application settings/custom display plugins
i would advise doing that ;) PS. if you are at all interested, the uninstall app is just an applescript app, so you can open it in applescript editor and see exactly what it's doing… On 7 Nov 2011, at 19:27, Brian Ross wrote: > Hello - just a concern that should probably be pointed out on the page > I was just alerted to for the 1.3 upgrade: > > If I explicitly uninstall Growl 1.2.x with the Uninstaller app, will > it preserve my preferences for the 1.3 install? > > I'm happy to upgrade and send my $2 (minus Apple's cut of course) to > the developers, but want to know beforehand if my prefs will get > obliterated.
