Hardware Growler, was more system sound feedback?
Here is another possible solution I found. Website: http://gigaom.com/apple/best-kept-secrets-hardware-growler/ 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 keyLSUIElement/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.

Jeff, was it as easy as the directions sound. I take it you chose the directions for the info.plist file? Any further tips. :) Traci - Original Message - From: Jeff Berwick mailingli...@berwick.name To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2011 12:02 PM Subject: Re: Hardware Growler, was more system sound feedback?

Re: Hardware Growler, was more system sound feedback?
Yes, it really was. I excluded the dict from the text to add in since it was already there and it would be redundant. Otherwise, to the letter.

Re: Hardware Growler, was more system sound feedback?
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.

Re: Hardware Growler, was more system sound feedback?
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 - Original Message - From: Jon Cohn jonc...@cox.net To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2011 6:07 PM Subject: Re: Hardware Growler, was more system sound feedback?
