HI, Touching base again in this regard. Are there any samples for reference for the below? That is, able to somehow "invoke" out-of-the-box display plug-in and do a custom action as well, such as Prowl apparently allows to do?
Also, one more question. It looks like a new instance of display plug-in is created each time a notification needs to be shown? Is that correct? Thanks in advance and regards ________________________________ From: Navin Mishra <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [growl-discuss] Re: Newbie: Hooking into Growl notification sent by an application Thanks Daniel for response...it was very helpful. Looking at the prowl documentation(https://www.prowlapp.com/installation.php), it looks like it allows to indeed reuse the Growl display style like Smoke. Is there then a way then to delegate that in manner? Or one must re-implement or "mimic" the "Smoke" display and, if so, can it safely be done by looking at the source?

However, multiple actions per notification are not presently supported directly, so one cannot easily setup something to use both your plugin, and say, smoke (Prowl and Boxcar both presently mimic our code for sending to a visual display, and access other internals to do this). This is something we are working to improve in the future, with the segregation of visual display plugins (smoke, bezel, etc), and action plugins (sms, Prowl, Boxcar, etc), so that plugin authors don't have to find ways around this limitation, and users can have more flexibility. As for documentation, well, it is admittedly a bit thin. All of our Cocoa plugins have their source available in the same repo as Growl.app at http://code.google.com/p/growl On Dec 4, 11:41 am, Navin <[email protected]> wrote: > Correct.

I want to hook into that notification, get the notification text and do a Google search. Referring the sample display plugin, I can do all that but it it shows its own UI which I don't want; I want to do my custom action but delegate to the "default" or a named Growl display plug-in(say "Smoke") for the purpose of showing the notification.
