Hi, All that is very interesting!

What he said. Additionally, no, we cannot rename Growl's bundle identifier for a variety of very important reasons, ranging from it would break applescripts to it would break entire applications.
BTW, I made myself a misspelling in the previous e-mail: I wanted to suggest correcting a non-uniform (compared to all the other Growl products) uppercase in lowercase: com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp => com.crowl.GrowlHelperApp But, of course, I can only understand and agree with the reasons you mentioned. On the other hand, it's "strange" to have decided one naming, differently from the others' rule.

Further, there is no "manual" removal of app tickets in Growl 2.0+. They are all stored in a core data database, and mucking around in that any other way than through Growl's UI is an *extremely* bad idea.
hallelujah! You're just preaching to the converted ;-) I totally shared the point of view that the UI is the right place to add/remove items in a everyday tool (and I use Growl everyday), and that hacking the hidden files was a regression compared to Growl 1.X. But remember the words (copied hereafter) said here not long ago, when I suggested to re-introduce the app removal from the UI that disappeared with new Growl versions. I was just following the piece of advice directly from Growl ;-) I'm quite happy to see another UI functionnality back for that. (And I share the compromise: whilst minus [-] button is rather the Apple standard to remove an item from a list, the danger for users removing "by mistake" is less present when using BACKSPACE as you defined now in Growl). Good work! Thank you. Just wasn't aware that you changed the situation on that point. Regards, -Yann.

The app being removed in Growl literally just gets rid of settings. Which you can still do with the delete key. :) On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 3:08 PM, <[email protected] <javascript:>> wrote: Hi, In older versions of Growl (with the System Preferences pane) one could remove an item in the list of registered applications (with a simple minus button: [-]) In new Growl 2 UI, this minus button has disappeared. This would be welcome to add this minus button [-] under the list to remove an application (for instance if a user wants to totally cleanup an old application). The current "Get Applications" button, under the list of application, could be reworked in a plus button [+]. Best regards, -Yann.
