Re: Growl 2.0 and WootWidget 5.1.1 on OSX 10.7.5

[Rudy Richter]

This is a known issue with 2.0 which is "fixed" in 2.0.1.  Due to the fact that Growl is now sandboxed we can no longer follow arbitrary paths to get icons for display as part of the notification. In 2.0 the applescript code just silently failed to get access to the icon and as a result decided not to display the notification at all.  In 2.0.1 a message will be logged to console indicating that icon from location is deprecated and provide url where the developer of the app can go to find out how to work around this limitation. The other difference in 2.0.1 is that the notification will display with AppleScript Editor.app's icon rather than display nothing at all.  So he's half right, a change did happen on the Growl side, and there is a corresponding change that'll need to happen in his use of the applescript api.

I don't get notifications for the woot widget any more. It seemed to happen when I upgraded to 10.7.5. Is there a fix? I don't really want to go to Mountain Lion yet. I've tried reloading (and even reinstalling) everything. Other apps seem to work ok. Thanks for any help. Michael Stowe doesn't think it is at his end.

Woot Widget 5.1.2 has been uploaded and seems to fix the problem. Thanks to Rudy for the diagnosis and to Michael for the fix.
