Hi All,

[...about two icons appearing in the Dock when enabling auto-launch at login
for Growl...]
First, the double dock icon thing. As has been said, we cannot reproduce this
ourselves, and if we can't reproduce the bug, we can't endeavor to fix it. We
can make guesses at what might cause it, and what might fix it, but they are
just that, guesses. Things like multiple launches or multiple copies are
possibilities.
Second, uninstalling. Growl, like most any other .app application, can simply be drug to
the trash for a simple removal. For deleting all settings and associated data, like any
sandboxed app store application, you can delete it via launchpad, and that will remove
our "container" where all our data is stored along with the app itself (note
that this will remove ALL registered apps, settings, and notification history)
Third, the start at login thing. We are sandboxed, and we use the officially supported method for
programmatically starting our app at login under sandboxing. Sandboxing does not allow access to
the methods that would add us to the "Start at Login" list in System Preferences, and
that will not be changing likely, as those API's were horribly insecure. We didn't
"invent" anything, these are Apple's approved and documented methods for sandboxed apps.
I have a new personnal information that could help understanding the problem
(dont' know if it's the same for johnM <[email protected]> )
I just happened to read this: http://growl.info/thirdpartyinstallations.php
thus I discovered that HP printer drivers (can) contain a hidden version of
Growl,
and... I own a HP printer!
Given this information, have you any piece of advice to help solving our
auto-launch problem?
For instance any way to be sure that there is a second hidden Growl?
(how to check it?)
Is there a way to ensure that enabling the auto-login in a app can not
auto-start
a second copy of this app?
Help welcome!
Best regards,
-Yann.
