Hi,
Then Thunderbird 24 is not supported anymore!! What a shame!
Should I open a different thread for Thunderbird 24 and Growl 2.1.2?
Hi,
If you're speaking of a thread in growldiscuss, I think it's not necessary,
since this drop of support is not from Growl side, but a decision on
Thunderbird side...
Then, our discussion seems to remain "global" here, for any Growl version.
(BTW maybe opening a thread on Mozilla/Thunderbird side could help!)
Maybe a solution would be to parse the XUL notification, but I am not familiar
enough with it to code it myself, sorry :(
Since I have no real hope that Mozilla change their mind and bring back Growl
support,
my personal wish is that:
- we manage to make "New Mail Notification for Thunderbird" work
(seems to depend only on growlnotify correction)
- Mozilla realize that some people can really prefer a central notification
system and
they will add an option to disable built-in XUL notifications (which can be
useful for anyone)
That would be a first satisfying situation, that seems not to be too far.
In the future, the best would be that "all" Thunderbird notifications (and not only
"new mail")
could be trapped by the Thunderbird extension sending to Growl...
-Yann.
I will try the mentioned add-on, and will be happy to test and report back
other solutions.
Kind regards,
Hervé

Thanks everyone for your replies! Doesn't look too promising I suppose... I
will still try your suggestions.
Hm... why is it that I always have this bad feeling when clicking an update
button :( You never know what super-annoying things are going to happen.
Thanks again!

Hi,
Yes, they have been discussing for a long time about removing Growl
support, and that's now done.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777409
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777409>
Now they use XUL notifications, independent from a central system like
Apple Notification Center,
or Growl, which can be a pity for people like us that enjoyed using
Growl.
That's why I tried to switch back to Growl New Message Notification
extension for Thunderbird.
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/growl-new-message-notification/
<https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/growl-new-message-notification/>
The extension appears to be still correctly working with latest release
of Thunderbird (24.0.1)
(for instance, a warning is displayed if Growlnotify is not installed.)
But as described in another thread,
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/growldiscuss/d6HOnnrTZeg
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/growldiscuss/d6HOnnrTZeg>
it appears not to work perfectly with the behavior of latest
Growlnotify version
that prevents from seeing the resulting display:
- the notification call is sent to growlnotify
(it is even logged in the Growl history tab AND in the Growl Roll-up)
- but now growlnotify seems not to correctly handle (not
auto-registering?) application names
that are not already registered before calling growlnotify
Then the call of the extension which is the following gives no display
growlnotify -n "Thunderbird (add-on)" -a "Thunderbird.app" -t Test "subject" -m
"Author <[email protected]>"
I opened the general thread about that topic on growldiscuss mailing
list (see link above),
but I have no answer nor solution yet.
I hope we'll get answers and maybe solutions,
Regards,
-Yann.

my suspicion as to what happened. We fought for them to not do it but ended up
losing that battle. They decided they wanted their own notifications likely
because they are trying to ship a phone operating system.

Thunderbird today (now running version 24.0.1). Ooops - I no longer get Growl
notifications from Thunderbird. I do get notifications from Thunderbird, staying
on screen for like half a second. I want my Growl back!
