Vicomsoft FTP Client stopped working with Growl

[David Marks]

It stopped working after upgrade to 1.3. Worked fine in 1.2.2.

they have a really really really old version of the Growl.framework in there. Contact the developer and tell them they need to update it.

as a temporary workaround, you can try to bodge it yourself, if you're comfortable playing around.
Disclaimer: this may not work forever, it may not even work to begin with, it shouldn't break anything, but I make no guarantees…

0) quit the app
1) back up the app (back up everything if you're keen)
2) go to http://growl.info/downloads and download the SDK
3) open up the SDK dmg you just downloaded, find the folder called Growl.framework (it's in Frameworks/)
4) go to your app in Finder, right click and select 'Show Package Contents'
5) locate the folder called Growl.framework within the package contents (it's in Contents/Frameworks/)
6) replace the Growl.framework in the app with the one from the disk image
7) restart the app, see if it works :)

Didn't work. Perhaps because the downloadable framework is 1.2.2 and NOT 1.3.

Frameworks 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 are compatible with 1.3, though there are a couple of ways the application can be incompatible even with a compatible framework.

No, the 1.2.2 framework works with 1.3.  If it's still not working, it's probably because the app developers are using a deprecated API call to test for Growl.

The methods you're referring to aren't deprecated (last I knew, anyway), they just aren't recommended for most purposes (Rachel outlined a useful purpose for them) and don't work with 1.3 in the 1.2.x frameworks.

[Joe Keenan]

Ah, OK.  I saw the notes about "don't do that" and thought they were officially deprecated.

It's sad how many of my installed apps use really old versions of the framework.  I've goy 7 installed that use 1.2.1 or 1.2.2, and 23 that use older ones.  Three of which are 0.7.X.

http://www.ninjadesk.com/featured/fixing-outdated-apps-manually-to-work-with-the-new-growl-1-3-for-os-x-lion/ is a cool little step by step that someone made, it includes screenshots of the steps and is pretty easy to follow.
