Removing applications registered in Growl

[yann.ric...@gmail.com]

Hi,

In older versions of Growl (with the System Preferences pane) one could remove an item in the list of registered applications (with a simple minus button: [-])

In new Growl 2 UI, this minus button has disappeared.

This would be welcome to add this minus button [-] under the list to remove an application

(for instance if a user wants to totally cleanup an old application).

The current "Get Applications" button, under the list of application, could be reworked in a plus button [+].

Best regards,

-Yann.

We removed that because a lot of people were clicking it, removing it, then the app would readd later, and they would complain they lost their settings. The app being removed in Growl literally just gets rid of settings.

Which you can still do with the delete key. :)

Hi!

If you decided to remove it (and did not simply forget it) in the new UI, that's the most important point.

That's a decision.

Nevertheless, I can hardly imagine that people deliberately REMOVE an application from Growl

and then would complain to have there settings lost for this app ;-) But everything can happen with users ;-)

The best way could be:

- to reintroduce this simple useful button for the user who wants to clean (or reset!) its settings for an app

- and to add a very clear alert telling him he will get the result you mentioned.

Otherwise, manually removing the key would be a solution, not very user-friendly though... and where is it documented? I'm not sure to do it correctly if I dare to.

Best regards,

-Yann.
