Hi all,
This worked like a charm for me as well.
It has brought up another questions though. Is there a way where vo doesn't
say growl helper app each time growl does something? I plugged in a USB
drive then ejected it, and both times vo said growl helper app.
Thanks,
Traci

The two sets of instructions do exactly the same thing, they modify the
properties file of the application which is sorta kinda like the registry
in Windows, though by no means as global.
So using the defaults command adds a new item to the appropriate plist
file using Apple standard operating procedure and editing the plist and
adding in a couple of XML codes will do the same thing.
There is also a program in the developer tools that allows you to examine
and edit a plist file as though you were perusing an Outline.
Best wishes,
Jonathan

Jeff, was it as easy as the directions sound. I take it you chose the
directions for the info.plist file? Any further tips. :)

Here is another possible solution I found.

Depending on where you decided to install Hardware Growler, either open
/Applications/HardwareGrowler.app/Contents/Info.plist
or
/Applications/Utilities/HardwareGrowler.app/Contents/Info.plist
add the following two lines after the
<dict> line:
<dict> <key>LSUIElement</key> <true/>
You will need to quit and re-start Hardware Grolwer for this setting to
take effect.
Next, to make it even easier to ensure Hardware Growler is running
after you login,
go to System Preferences > Accounts and add it as a "Login Item" and
check the "Hide"
checkbox just for good measure.
Let me know what you all think.
